If you don't find in scheduled job,

 

plz look in sys_trigger table directly :

Hello @YerragondaA3099 ,

 

There is a property name glide.ui.autoclose.time in > sys_properties :

in which the number of days are set in value to autoclose incidents..

 Hi @Dr Atul G- LNG  & @yashkamde ,

Thanks for the help 
Yes there is a property configured in business rule but how is this business rule getting triggered ?

YerragondaA3099_0-1783354692784.png

Im trying to understand that since there is not insert,update,delete or query 
This business rule will never run in that case but it is active


And also we dont have 'Autoclose Incidents' scheduled job
