Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [ticket:4849 hellais]:
 > Currently Tor circuits have a timeout of 10 minutes. It would be nice to
 be able to set a timeout setting for tearing down a particular circuit
 towards a certain hidden service.

 What's the use case here? Are you accruing too many parallel circuits and
 something is going wrong because of it? Or are the hidden services getting
 overloaded because too many clients are idling after they connect? Or are
 you worried about anonymity issues in some way?
