To be clear, timeboxing is usually used in the opposite sense, to say "if this bug is not fixed by end-of-day then we should abandon the effort because the value of fixing it is limited".
It can be useful to timebox the amount of time that you spend trying to find the "right" fix before falling back to a workable solution -- like "if you can't fix the problem with the email sender by end of day we're going to send out the emails manually".
