Hey @Qualadore, the issue here is not the timer duration but the fact that the poster of that topic marked a solution that does not actually solve the topic. This is to be expected since we just made the definition of “solution” a bit sharper by adding the lock timer so there may still be some misuse while users learn the updated definition of the feature.
I’ve gone ahead and unmarked the solution on that topic and unlocked it since the topic is not actually solved.
Feel free to keep me updated on cases where you think a topic has locked too early. Four years is not any sort of appropriate time for the auto-lock timer but we’re happy to adjust it up a little bit more than 2 weeks if that is needed, given practical examples.
This requires a feature request instead of a bug report, as that is described as an intended limitation.
The topic appears correctly locked for that reason, but I could move it to feature requests and unlock it for you if you want. This one seems to have been manually locked and not as result of a lock timer.
