Vercel Sandboxes can run uninterrupted sessions for up to 24 hours (up from 5 hours). This new max duration unlocks workloads that require longer runtimes, such as large-scale data processing, E2E testing pipelines, and long-lived agentic workflows.

```typescript
import { Sandbox } from '@vercel/sandbox';
const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
  // 24 hours timeout  
  timeout: 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
});
```

Pair with [persistent sandboxes](https://vercel.com/docs/sandbox/concepts/persistent-sandboxes) to maintain durable state across extended runs.

The 24 hour max duration is available on all Pro and Enterprise plans. Learn more about limits in the [documentation ](https://vercel.com/docs/sandbox/pricing)and see [how Vercel Sandbox duration and persistence work](https://vercel.com/kb/guide/vercel-sandbox-duration-and-persistence).
