time limit mismatch in problem statement and dataset record

#4

For example, in record id=60173, the statement says

Input file: standard input  
Output file: standard output  
Time limit: 2 seconds  
Memory limit: 1024 megabytes  
...

however, the recorded item time_limit = 5000 (5 seconds). I think the time limit value in judging ​​is subject to the item time_limit here?

The time limit displayed in the problem description is the official one used in the contest. Due to the performance differences between our servers and the official contest environment, we have re-evaluated and adjusted the time limit by running a set of correct and time-limit-exceeded solutions to align with our server's environment. The time limit contained in the time_limit field of the dataset is the adjusted one.

Hi, is this time_limit for all programming languages or just c++? As we know usually c++ code runs faster than python (pypy) / java code, in case they use the same algorithm.
