By default, =condor_annex= arranges for your annex's instances to be terminated after =0.83= hours (50 minutes) have passed. Once it's in place, this lease doesn't depend on your machine, but it's only checked every five minutes, so give your deadlines a lot of cushion to make you don't get charged for an extra hour. The lease is intended to help you conserve money by preventing the annex instances from accidentally running forever. As noted in the example output above, you can specify a lease duration (in decimal hours) with the =-duration= flag.
+If you need to adjust the lease for a particular annex, you may do so by specifying an annex name and a duration, but not a count. When you do so, the new duration is set starting at the current time. For example, if you'd like "MyFirstAnnex" to expire eight hours from now:
+
+{term}
+$ condor_annex -annex-name MyFirstAnnex -duration 8
+Lease updated.
+{endterm}
+
{subsection: idle time}
By default, =condor_annex= will configure your annex's instances to terminate themselves after being idle for =0.25= hours (fifteen minutes). This is intended to help you conserve money in case of problems or an extended shortage of work. As noted in the example output above, you can specify a max idle time (in decimal hours) with the =-idle= flag. =condor_annex= considers an instance idle if it's {link: http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/manual/v8.6/3_7Policy_Configuration.html#37887 unclaimed}, so it won't get tricked by jobs with long quiescent periods.
