Hi @homerm,
This value is defaulted to 720 minutes. If you leave this setting unchanged, every 12 hours the application domains for SSRS recycle. The first person to access the report manager after the recycle experiences the initial loading of the application domains, and thus the slow response time.
So, during the RecycleTime, the reporting features is still available.

Zoe Hui
