# ExpirationIdleTime

The number of seconds that a question context can be idle for before it expires.

Answer Server runs an expiration operation regularly every ExpirationInterval. When a context has been idle (unused) for longer than the specified idle time when the expiration operation runs, the context expires.

If you send an Ask with an expired context, it returns an error.
