[Q] For inputs.conf, can the time_before_close setting be used with [batch]?

The inputs.conf file specifically indicates which [monitor] settings are compatible with [batch] and this setting is not included.

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/Inputsconf

From inputs.conf

 The following settings work identically as for [monitor::] stanzas,
 documented above
host_regex = <regular expression>
host_segment = <integer>
crcSalt = <string>
recursive = <boolean>
whitelist = <regular expression>
blacklist = <regular expression>
initCrcLength = <integer>
