While it varies significantly from client to client, PSPM for WiFi is designed to work on the order of seconds or smaller periods. For example, in linux the `iwconfig` command has default units of seconds and you can specify milliseconds or microseconds. So I wouldn't assume the timeout is hundreds of seconds by default.
