Is your timestamp_timeout option zero? That seems more or less the same
idea, with timeout set to taste or need. I miss the feature since
OpenBSD 5.8 because I uninstalled sudo when they created doas, and the
latter has no such feature last I looked. But I can't justify to myself
having doas, sudo, and su. doas and su are enough, at least for what I'm
using OpenBSD for now.
