I have sleeping tabs feature in Edge Dev Version 87.0.644.4, enabled it from flags.

 

there default timeout is too long, 2 hours.
it should be set to something like 30 mins.

another thing is that the minimum time we can set it to is 15 mins which is still long. I would like to set my inactive tabs to go to sleep after 5 mins or less.

 

now I know there is another flag to make this immediate (which means after 0mins) but I need something between 0 and 15, so please add more granular timers that are between 15 and 0 minutes.

thank you
