Basically a delay timer that could be set so the bot doesn't wait indefinitely.

There is a general timeout flow, and you can define the time it waits. Or are you suggesting defining a timeout per node / card ? https://botpress.com/docs/cloud/studio/workflows/#timeout https://botpress.com/docs/cloud/studio/chatbot-settings/#inactivity-timeout-minutes

Yes, an actual timeout dial on the Wait for user input card. There's a similar thing in Power Automate cloud with the Delay card.

@cold-jewelry-54343 There is an edge case that you might be interested in knowing and id love if you have some way to achieve this: I want to collect feedback after a set duration of inactivity. Initially i decided to collect it inside the timeout flow, but the problem is that if you ask for user input in the timeout flow and the user does not respond after a unknown duration ( i do not know what duration timeout workflow follows for timeout), it will end the session, but never entering the "Conversation End" flow, even though it is connected to the end node. So the user never knows their session has ended and they might try to give feedback when all it would do is wake the bot up. What is the best way to collect feedback after a set duration of inactivity?

Yes, I agree this is a much needed feature. Some cards if not all should have a timeout feature. I would go with Wait for user input, raw input for the least
