Everyone goes AFK in Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail, but it pays to know your limits. You’ll be disconnected from servers if you’re away from your keyboard for more than a minute.
When streamers go AFK in FFXIV
While the idea of an AFK limit may not sound ideal to many, such a feature exists to prevent players from clogging up the servers. After all, Realms cannot accommodate an infinite number of players.
Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail's AFK timer has been capped at 30 minutes. This means that your character will automatically disconnect from the server after being inactive for half an hour.
The AFK timer is the same for all players and many have confirmed its duration after finding out the hard way.
