Vercel Sandbox can now run for up to 24 hours

Vercel Sandbox sessions can now run for up to 24 hours instead of 5, which makes the hosted sandbox layer materially more usable for long evaluations, end-to-end test pipelines, data jobs, and agent workflows that do not finish inside a short interactive window.

Why it matters

Useful for builders whose agents or test harnesses already fit the sandbox model but were previously constrained by the shorter runtime cap.

Who should skip it

Skip if the source link, docs, or setup requirements do not match your workflow.

Risk explanation

Long-lived sandboxes can run real code and background tasks for hours, so teams still need limits on secrets, network access, and spend.
