+### Auction timeout
+
+If `auctionTimeout=T`, where `T` is the time in milliseconds, is specified, and a transaction arrives within `T` milliseconds of the end of the current slot, it will be scheduled for the next slot.
+This ensures the transaction is processed at the beginning of the next slot, giving searchers the full slot duration to submit their bundles and backruns.
