[Pro and Enterprise teams](https://vercel.com/docs/plans) can now run Vercel Sandboxes for up to 5 hours (up from 45 minutes).

This new max duration unlocks workloads that require longer runtimes, such as large-scale data processing, end-to-end testing pipelines, and long-lived agentic workflows.

```javascript
const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
  // 5 hours timeout  
  timeout: 5 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
});
```

[Get started with Sandbox](https://vercel.com/docs/vercel-sandbox#getting-started) now and learn more in the [docs](https://vercel.com/docs/vercel-sandbox).
