Hi@akhtar,

You can change the timeout time in Jenkins. For that you need to override the timeout by passing an argument --sessionTimeout=<minutes> to the Jenkins init script, or -DsessionTimeout=<minutes> to the .war file as shown below.

# Set the session timeout to 1 week
$ java -jar jenkins.war --sessionTimeout=10080
