Set 30-Minute Time Limit for Survey

Hello,

I am trying to set a time limit of 30 minutes to complete my survey. In the survey options, 30 minutes is not an option for How much time should pass before they’re considered incomplete? I would essentially like for the survey to time out 30 minutes after starting the survey.

A solution or any guidance for this would be much appreciated! Thank you!

If assuming you have everything on one page, you can use timing question with auto-advance.

However, do note that the countdown is rather limited because it refreshes when page is refresh.

 

Another method is set an embedded data duration and check condition between blocks.

More information: Thread

However, do note that the checking of condition is not done instantly but between question blocks, so they could still be in the same question after the 30 minutes passed until they click next for the condition checking.

 

Not sure if there are any other existing alternatives.
