This term is predominantly used in technical and IT contexts in both Brazil and the USA. In Brazil, professionals often use the English term 'timeout' directly alongside Portuguese translations due to the globalized nature of software development. In sports contexts, 'timeout duration' is more commonly understood as a strategic pause rather than a technical timeout, and translated as 'duração do tempo técnico' or simply 'tempo técnico'.
