    Hi there, 


    Here is a great article on how timeouts work:

     

    https://www.o365dude.com/2018/06/02/timeout-flow-approvals/  

    And here is the wiki for the format: 

     

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601

     

    So based on that I think you want PT30S

     

    Cheers,

    @Githendra23  ISO 8601 terminology-

    • P is the duration designator (referred to as "period"), and is always placed at the beginning of the duration.
    • Y is the year designator that follows the value for the number of years.
    • M is the month designator that follows the value for the number of months.
    • W is the week designator that follows the value for the number of weeks.
    • D is the day designator that follows the value for the number of days.
    • T is the time designator that precedes the time components.
    • H is the hour designator that follows the value for the number of hours.
    • M is the minute designator that follows the value for the number of minutes.
    • S is the second designator that follows the value for the number of seconds.

    So for 30 seconds use PT30S  in the box

    @Rhiassuring  Great. Terminology itself is explaining for Time component.

    • T is the time designator that precedes the time components.
