That's very unlikely to happen, since finding a counterexample or proving there isn't one is much easier than finding a program candidate, so it'll usually time out in that phase.

OK, so what happens when it fails to find a candidate?
Then you learned something, I guess ("solving is hard"). I see a lot of timeouts with mine. Mine is 'easy' in that I'm looking for SIMD programs so the domain is essentially u8 "in lane only" SIMD code, so the small bit-width makes life easier.
