# Implement a scan timeout threshold

Set the execution time of a single scan by implementing
Transaction Quota Rules. Setting of a quota rule prevents your
instance from running a long scan.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllSystem DefinitionTransaction Quota Rules.
2. To set a definite execution time, select Scan timeout.
3. Enter the definite execution time in the Maximum Duration (seconds) field and select Update.  
   Note:  
   The minimum allowed timeout threshold is 5 seconds. If you set the timeout to anything less than 5 seconds, the system still considers it to be 5 seconds. By default, it has been set to 10,800 seconds.  
   The scan fails if the execution time exceeds the set timeout. For more information on the type of scan you want to run, see [Configuring Instance Scan](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/H6Ai9ayMqC4oCO8rd3GSMg "Execute the different kinds of scans that Instance Scan offers to keep a check on the health of your instance. You can also schedule a full scan so you can ensure the health of your instance even without an active session.") .
