What it does
How long one run waits for a submitted fresh Shodan scan to finish.
When set
Longer waits make the run take longer but finish more scans in the same run; if the limit passes, the run writes no rows and the next run collects the scan.
When blank or default
Left blank, the default applies: 300 seconds (5 minutes).
Risk and how to reverse it
Changes what is collected from the next run: narrowing it means some assets or data are not collected, so they look absent in profiles, CIs and reports (absence is never read as fixed). Reversible: change it back; the next run collects again.
Requires
Read by: publicip.
Recommended
Keep the default. Change it when: When scans routinely take longer than five minutes for your address count.
