Documented steps Give a service time to shut down cleanly by setting `stop_grace_period: 30s` (per-service, in the Compose file). Override the shutdown timeout once at the CLI with `docker compose stop --time 30` (seconds) or `docker compose down --time 30`. The default stop_grace_period is 10 seconds. Create a start policy only if needed; stop_grace_period only applies to shutdown/halt, not to how long the container may run. Docs: https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/05-services/ Known gotchas Default stop_grace_period is 10s — long-running cleanup (e.g. draining requests) may be SIGKILLed before it finishes. stop_grace_period is set per-service in the file, while `--time` is a per-invocation override that applies to all target services. After stop_grace_period / --time elapses, Docker sends SIGKILL even if the process has not exited.
