We have increased the sleep timer cap from 10 to 15 episodes, which is available from version 2.0.1 and above. Why is there a need for a sleep timer?

However, it's important to note that this timer is per-session based. As soon as the timer ends, you can hit the play button, and it will resume from the next episode, resetting the timer.
