Sometimes your package manager asks you for root password every minute while doing few hours long update and cancelling process if you don't enter anything for few minutes, "yay" aur manager looking at you, and you got to do other things than sit and look in the monitor all day long, things like cleaning house or touching grass for example

Man if only there was an option like --sudoloop to ensure that doesn't happen

sudo visudo

At the end:

Defaults:USER timestamp_timeout=30

USER is obviously changed to your username.

If I remember correctly the default sudo timeout is set to 5 minutes on Yay, you should be able to increase it to something more reasonable
