# Claim Length Setting

In order to cater to different playstyles, strategies, and schedules, Golem Overlord lets invested users choose their own Claim Timer length! Accessing these features requires a minimum Algorithm Stat, and you must pay (burn) a set number of $PART to unlock them.

* **The baseline** Claim Timer is 8 hours, and it is called 'Normal'.
* **The 'Short' Timer** sets the cooldown to 4 hours, allowing you to claim twice as often. This also reduces your [Claim Multiplier](/golem-overlord/gameplay/scavenging-claim/claim-multiplier.md) by a flat 25%. You must have an [Algorithm](/golem-overlord/gameplay/player-stats/algorithm.md) Stat of 7 and make a one-time payment of 49 $PART to unlock this option.
* **The 'Longer' Timer** sets the cooldown to 12 hours, which is convenient for overnight. This also increases your [Claim Multiplier](/golem-overlord/gameplay/scavenging-claim/claim-multiplier.md) by a flat 15%. You must have an [Algorithm](/golem-overlord/gameplay/player-stats/algorithm.md) Stat of 15 and make a one-time payment of 225 $PART to unlock this option.

## Setting a new cooldown (CD) length

Choosing an unlocked setting will determine your NEXT timer, leaving the current one unaffected, so plan accordingly! If you make a choice while you are out of cooldown (i.e. you are able to claim), the choice will be reflected as soon as you claim.
