# Vercel Sandbox can now run for up to 24 hours

By Steven Van · 2026-06-16

Vercel Sandbox sessions can run up to 24 hours on Pro and Enterprise plans, up from a previous 5-hour limit.

[Vercel](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/vercel>) Sandbox sessions can now run for up to **24 hours**, up from 5 hours, on Pro and Enterprise plans. The Hobby plan limit stays at 45 minutes.

The longer ceiling is meant for work that needs to finish in one uninterrupted run, such as large-scale data processing, end-to-end testing pipelines, or long-lived agentic workflows. Pair it with persistent sandboxes to keep filesystem state across runs.
