    Hi,
     
    The timeout setting does not allow variables right now and a recommended solution is to add a condition then in each you can set the timeout as needed.  So here, I am checking if the date in the trigger or could even be utcNow() DOW is equal to Sat or Sun, then route to the Yes side with my special weekend timeout OR use the weekday timeout settings.
