Hello there, Awla.

 

To extend the timeout duration when using QuickBooks Online (QBO), you'll want to head to your company's Account and settings page. Before doing so, know that you'll have to be the Primary Admin or Company Admin to modify the timeout duration. If you're ready, here's how:

 

  1. Access your QuickBooks Online company.
  2. On the top-right corner, click on the Gear icon.
  3. Choose Account and Settings.
  4. Click Advanced.
  5. Click on the Edit icon ✎ from the Other Preferences section.
  6. Choose 3 hours from the Sign me out if inactive for ▼ dropdown menu.
  7. Click Save, and then Done.

 

For more details, please see this page: Change the timeout duration in QuickBooks Online.
