A timeout determines the execution threshold of a scan from running long scans. For example, any scan running longer than the set time period results in a failure.  
If the scan or the check takes longer than the set time period set by the quota rule, an error message appears.  
Note:  
By default the scans are limited to three hours and individual checks are limited to 10 minutes.

To learn how to configure these thresholds, see [Implement a scan timeout threshold](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/GaOag5A2PReFSQzuNjaq3Q "Set the execution time of a single scan by implementing Transaction Quota Rules. Setting of a quota rule prevents your instance from running a long scan.") and [Implement a check timeout threshold](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/4wzja00CGTR_uims4Z53DA "Set the execution time of an individual check by implementing timeout system property. Setting of a timeout threshold prevents your instance from running a long check.").
