Time Limits
| Description | Limit |
|---|---|
| Apex action time limit (standard bots) | 10 to 30 seconds |
| Apex action time limit (enhanced bots) | 10 to 60 seconds |
| Bot processing time limit | 120 seconds |
| Session inactivity time limit (standard bots on Chat and standard Messaging channels) | 2 hours If the end user requests a transfer to a live support rep, the standard bot attempts to transfer up to the time limit. If no support reps are available at the end of the time limit, the transfer is closed.
