THis is happening in hobby account.

Hey @sumansaurabh,

The hobby tier has a maximum timeout of 1 hour. You can find more here.

But it definitely shouldn't time out after 5 minutes.

Can you send me a reproducible example, please? Also, what version of SDK do you use?

Can confirm that this issue exists in the following scenario on the Hobby tier:

• First create sandbox with 1 hour timeout => Works OK, timeout set to 1 hour
• Later connect to the sandbox with Sandbox.connect(sandboxId) with no timeout settings => this resets the timeout to 5 mins instead of maintaining it at 1 hours. This is the bug.
• But, if you connect to the sandbox with Sandbox.connect(sandboxId) with 1 hour timeout setting => this keeps the sandbox alive for 1 hour

// First create sandbox with 1 hr timeout
const sandbox = await Sandbox.create(templateId, {
timeoutMs: 3_600_000,     // ✅ Timeout is set to 1 hour correctly
});


// Later connect to sandbox without any timeout settings
await Sandbox.connect(sandboxId) // ❌ Resets timeout to 5 mins

// But the issue doesn't arise if you connect to sandbox WITH timeout settings
await Sandbox.connect(sandboxId, {timeoutMs: 3_600_000 }) // ✅ Timeout maintained at 1 hr
