Select one Application Pools and right click on that we can able to see “Advanced Settings”. Click on “Advanced Settings”. From the right side navigation, we can also directly click on “Advanced Settings”.

In the “Advanced Settings,” we can able to see Shutdown Time Limit (seconds) option. By default the time will be 90 seconds, increase that to 300 seconds.

Otherwise, we can change the “Idle Time-out Reached” which is present under the “Generate Process Model Event Log Entry“. Change the “True” option to “False“.
