Documented steps

  1. Create with an explicit timeout: 'Sandbox.create(timeout=3600, auto_pause=True)'.
  2. timeout is in seconds; when it expires the sandbox is terminated (or paused if auto_pause=True).
  3. For longer-lived work set a larger timeout up to the plan maximum.
  4. Check plan caps in the E2B dashboard before authoring long-lived sandboxes.
