hi after enable sleeping tabs , it seems it doen't work because none of tabs turned gray and there is no "this tab is sleeping" pop up in my tabs
What does your timeout setting look like?
edge://settings/system
if you want to dig deeper, you can also view why a tab can't go to sleep by going here: edge://discards/
and in the "can't sleep?" column, you can view the reasons if you hover over them.
HotCakeX thanks alot for guide, i put 5 min inactivity timeout , and " in Can Sleep?" column , it says "tab is currently holding an indexedDB lock" , how can i solve this? and is "sleeping tab" feature in edge as useful as great suspender?

you're welcome,
great suspender was identified as malware and removed from extension stores.
sleeping tabs in Edge is better than that, yes.
you can't solve it, it's the website that has that behavior. like I said, Edge sleeping tabs is smart not to break website functionality.
thanks , there is extension "marvelous suspender" alternative for TGS that it says exactly same but without malware, and some youtube or twitter pages go to sleep but some pages don't , and i can't find why because no audio or video isn't playing in those pages

well you can ask that extension's developer since your problem is related to it.
after the recent incidents, I personally don't trust 3rd party extensions so much.
