I know this problem but there is no good solution for this. We could hack around it for on-disk keys but as soon as a smartcard is used, that smartcard may want a PIN in any case and thus any delayed cache expiring won't help. > How can I configure this timeout? Put pinentry-timeout 3600 into gpg.agent.conf for a one hour timeout: This option asks the Pinentry to timeout after n seconds with no user input. The default value of 0 does not ask the pinentry to timeout, however a Pinentry may use its own default timeout value in this case. A Pinentry may or may not honor this request.
