A live stream that nobody is watching still costs bandwidth, and it keeps showing whatever is on your timeline. These two limits end a session on their own when you are no longer there.
The Safety tab with the two auto-stop limits, both set to zero
Both limits are off by default. Zero means off, so nothing happens until you set a number.

​
Auto-stop after hours

Ends the stream once it has been live for the number of hours you set. This catches the session you started in the morning and forgot after the review call ended. Pick a value slightly above your longest realistic session. Set it too tight and it will cut you off mid-sentence.

​
Auto-stop when the source is gone

Ends the stream when your editing application stops sending for the number of minutes you set. This is the one that catches a crashed Premiere, a closed laptop lid, or a quit Resolve.
A paused timeline does not count as gone. As long as the plugin stays connected, the stream holds the last picture and this limit does not run. Only a real disconnect starts the clock, so you can pause for a coffee without losing the session.
Something between five and fifteen minutes works for most people. Long enough to survive a brief hiccup, short enough that a forgotten session does not run all night.

​
Saving

Click Save. The limits apply to the next stream you start, not to one that is already running.
