No time limit?
No, I have not tried that, thanks :) in saying that; is there no way of completely removing the time limit?

I dont believe so.

If all your friends have auto-claim on timeout turned off, it is essentially no time limit. I think there is a maximum of 60 days before the system will do the auto-claim in that case.

where do I find this option for the 60 days?
