Kill time occurs irrespective of any send attempts.  Kill time is the 
time in which the fax must be sent before failing and notifying you (so 
that you can investigate why it's not going out).  So in some cases for 
a high-priority fax the kill time should likely be something like "now + 
30 minutes" whereas something not so important can be left at default 
("now + 3 hours") or something that just needs to get there eventually 
("now + 2 days").

Unless you're specifying a killtime during the job submission process, 
then it's likely the default (3 hours), and your comments here indicate 
as much.

KillTimeMap is a feature used for SNPP jobs, not fax jobs.  So just 
ignore everything about KillTimeMap in this case.
