Can you or can you not set a timeout for Codespaces

Question

In The Codespace lifecycle it states:

Timeouts for a Codespace

If a Codespace is inactive, or if you exit your Codespace without explicitly stopping, the application times out after a period of inactivity and stops running. The default timeout is after 30 minutes of inactivity. You can't customize the duration of the timeout period for new Codespaces. When a Codespace times out, your data is kept from the last time your changes were saved.

However in the next section of the same page:

Close or stop a Codespace

If you exit the Codespace without running the stop command (for example, by closing the browser tab) or leave the Codespace running without interaction, the Codespace and its running processes continue during the inactivity timeout period. The default inactivity timeout period is 30 minutes. You can define your personal timeout setting for Codespaces you create, but this may be overruled by an organization's timeout policy.

So, with the contradiction... which is it? The module will likely need to be updated to match.
