To expand on this:
dblink will login as a certain user on the remote database.
If your design is good, this is a dedicated user only for this
purpose.
You can then
ALTER ROLE <user> SET statement_timeout = 10000
for that user on the remote database to have all statements
canceled when they take longer than 10 seconds.
