After recent updates, idle_timeout is triggered even during a pause in printing.

  1. Please follow How-To Ask for Help
  2. idle_timeout has been triggered during PAUSE ever since Klipper existed
  3. Refer to GitHub - mainsail-crew/mainsail-config: Mainsail klipper macros and settings

It’s strange but I didn’t notice this before.
Ok - you can think of this as a future request.
I don’t think it’s normal when pause = idle

It seems to me that idle_timeout is needed “just in case” if, for example, you manually turned on the heating of a hotend or table and it turned off after a while for safety, or after printing, turn off unnecessary things (backlights, etc.).
But during the pause it is extremely strange.

When the pause gets way too long it can become as dangerous as a thermal runaway.

I had a question that related to this in this post How to pause during the night? - #9 by olhev

I followed @sineos advice and I now use my special pause to give me longer time.

This idle timeout is a safety feature that you should heed and not try to find a way around, rather work with it and and leave the original intention of the idle timeout as it is.
