| Any of the above resets the standby idle timer. Once none are active for ten seconds, the browser starts entering standby. That's the minimum idle time before standby can start. Usage is billed until the transition completes, which may take several more seconds. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
10 is the correct number, it's not 5. Also there is some wiggle room on when it stops exactly, for example if there are queued standbys on a busy host.

Description
The docs said a browser enters standby after five seconds of inactivity. The idle time is ten seconds, and it is the time before standby starts, not the time until the browser is in standby.

Documentation-only wording and timing corrections with no runtime or API impact.
Overview
Aligns standby idle timing across five docs pages: the minimum idle period before standby starts is ten seconds, not five.
Copy now says browsers start entering standby after that idle window (rather than being instantly in standby), and the standby page adds that usage is billed until the transition finishes, which can take additional seconds after the ten-second threshold.
