Idle sandboxes now pause after 5 minutes

A new sandbox, browser or sleeping container pauses after 5 minutes with nothing happening in it by default, where it was 1 minute before. Rates are unchanged, but an idle sandbox that sets no idle time now runs, and is billed for its memory, up to 4 more minutes before it pauses; set idlePauseSeconds to 60 to keep the old default. The shortest idle pause is now 60 seconds, not 10: a time of 10 to 59 seconds you set on a new sandbox, or change to, is raised to 60, so that sandbox runs, and is billed, until 60 seconds idle. The answer shows the 60 it got; 0 still turns pausing off. Sandboxes made before today keep the setting they have, under 60 too. See pause when idle.
