auto-away
Status changes automatically
Auto-away is a status feature in messaging and chat applications that automatically marks a user as away or idle after a period of inactivity.
The system detects when you've stopped typing or moving your mouse and signals to others that you may not respond immediately: My status switched to auto-away during the meeting.
The feature helps manage expectations about response time without requiring manual updates.
