Diablo 4 AFK time – Do you want to find out how long the AFK time is in the latest Diablo 4? Then you’ve come to the right place. The following guide contains everything you need to know about the Diablo 4 AFK timer and when the servers time out by kicking you out! Keep reading to find out!
Many steadfast players were kicked out from Blizzard’s servers after they did not pay any heed to the Diablo 4 AFK Timers and, as a result, timed out. Owing to the fact that the servers take what feels like forever to load, it is understandable that you go AFK or “away from the keyboard”. However, with the auto-logout timer, the servers can kick you out when you go beyond the idle time. You will also be thrown way back in the long waiting queue by Blizzard.
So, if you are wondering if there’s a way to prevent this from happening, we have you covered. Here is everything you need to know about the Diablo 4 AFK duration.
How long can you stay AFK in Diablo 4?
From the standard AFK times of Blizzard, it can be figured out that the AFK timer of Diablo 4 is approximately 30 minutes long. There is also the potential that the servers kick you out after you have been idly inactive for 20-25 minutes. After this happens, you’ll have to get in the waiting queue again to join the servers. There’s also the case that if your character is not moving in-game, you receive a forced timeout. Now, talking about how to avoid getting kicked out or disconnected from the Diablo 4 servers is not to go AFK.
However, you should note that when you are AFK, you are far more vulnerable to the enemies in the game. Going AFK is never a safe option because the Butcher boss can spawn in the game at any random time and location. Additionally, if you have opted for the Hardcore Mode in the game, you’re more open to dangers in-game compared to AFK. So, we highly suggest you wait for the server rather than go AFK.
Moreover, due to technical issues too, you can receive an auto-timeout or get kicked out from the Diablo 4 servers.
So that pretty much sums up everything about how long you can stay AFK in Diablo 4.
