 This is equivalent to the Podman `--shm-size` option and generally has the form `number[unit]`
 
+### `StopTimeout=`
+
+Sets the time in seconds to wait for the pod to gracefully stop.
+This value is equivalent to the `--time` argument in the podman `pod stop` command when the service is stopped.
+After this period expires, any running containers in the pod are forcibly killed.
+
 ### `SubGIDMap=`
 
 Create the pod in a new user namespace using the map with name in the /etc/subgid file.
