# LifecycleConfig

`interface` in `types` · v0.12.0

<https://docs.seedcord.org/packages/types/0.12.0/interfaces/lifecycle-config>

Timing settings for the coordinated shutdown sequence.

```ts
interface LifecycleConfig
```

## Properties

### shutdownDeadline

```ts
shutdownDeadline: number;
```

How long the whole shutdown may run, in milliseconds. Once it elapses seedcord skips the phases it never reached and exits. A shutdown that interrupts a slow startup waits for that startup out of the same budget.

Set it below your platform's kill window, leaving three seconds for the log flush after the phases. Kubernetes sends SIGKILL 30 seconds after SIGTERM by default, and `docker stop` waits 10.
