## About the idle timeout ## About the idle timeout
A codespace will stop running after a period of inactivity. By default this period is 30 minutes, but you can specify a longer or shorter default timeout period in your personal settings on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}. The updated setting will apply to any new codespaces you create, or to existing codespaces the next time you start them. You can also specify a timeout when you use {% data variables.product.prodname_cli %} to create a codespace. A codespace will stop running after a period of inactivity.
