  • As @MaratB mentioned it is working as intended and it is impossible to change the inactive time. However I would like to suggest you to try installing SDK and check if you are still facing the same problem. You can follow this link to install [SDK](https://www.codingforentrepreneurs.com/blog/google-cloud-cli-and-sdk-setup) if you are planning to install. – Farid Shumbar Jul 13 '21 at 12:14

This behavior is by design, as Cloud Shell is intended for interactive use only.

    @asks - workarounds can result in losing access to Cloud Shell for your account. – John Hanley Jul 12 '21 at 19:41
  • That's exactly right. Trying to subvert Cloud Shell limitations or violate Terms of Service in any other way is a sure way to get your account banned. – MaratB Jul 13 '21 at 17:27

One way to fix it is running a ping command within a TMUX Terminal.

apt install tmux
apt update
tmux
ping google.com
Ctrl+b "

The downside of this is you'll be working halfscreen.
