# Session Inactivity Timeout

By **default**, your Appetize session will end after **2 minutes** of inactivity. You can modify the default app timeout, or specify a timeout for a specific app build by following the steps below:

## Default App Timeout

Navigate to [**Organization -> Session Defaults**](https://appetize.io/organization/session-defaults) **->** **Session Timeout**

{% hint style="info" %}
You can also[ set](/rest-api/v1/create-new-app.md)/[update](/rest-api/v1/update-existing-app.md) the inactivity timeout of your app with our [REST API](/rest-api.md) when uploading your app.
{% endhint %}

## What's the behavior if you reach your concurrency limit?

When a user launches Appetize and the maximum concurrency limit has been reached, they will be placed in a virtual 'queue' and wait until additional capacity becomes available:

As soon as a device becomes available, the queued users will be granted access, allowing them to continue as usual.
