Set E2B sandbox timeouts consistently
Make sandbox lifetime match the work it is meant to support.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Set Sandbox Timeout
Tool to set the timeout for an E2B sandbox. Use when you need to extend or reduce the sandbox lifetime. The timeout is measured from the current time, and calling this multiple times overwrites the previous TTL.
Why this helps
Inconsistent timeout values create surprise expirations and unnecessary long runtimes.
- Creates predictable sandbox lifetimes
- Reduces timeout surprises
- Limits forgotten long-running environments
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect E2B in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Sandbox timeout policy.
- 3Tell Notis to set the requested timeout for the selected sandboxes and report the resulting values.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one sandbox.
Questions about this workflow
Does this overwrite the existing timeout?
