Set the Time Lock

Sets the cooling-off period (in seconds) between a proposal's approval and when it may execute, on a controlled smart account, authorized by the settings authority.

Controlled accounts only. An autonomous account uses the SetTimeLocksettings transaction action. See The Async Transaction Lifecycle for how the time lock gates execution.

Program method — set_time_lock_as_authority

Signs with payer + settings_authority + rent_payer, then sends.

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
payer	Keypair	yes	—	Pays the fee; co-signs.
settings	#to_s	yes	—	The settings account address.
settings_authority	#to_s · Keypair	yes	—	The account's settings authority; must sign.
