To allow time for players to finish what they're doing during a graceful server shutdown, set `STOP_SERVER_ANNOUNCE_DELAY` to a number of seconds to delay after an announcement is posted by the server.

!!! warning
!!! warning "Increase stop grace period"

Be sure to adjust Docker's shutdown timeout accordingly, such as using [the -t option on docker-compose down](https://docs.docker.com/compose/reference/down/) or set the [stop_grace_period](https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/05-services/#stop_grace_period) in the compose file.
The Docker stop grace period must be increased to a value longer than the announce delay. The value to use that is longer than announce delay will vary based upon the amount of time it takes for final world data saving. If the container exits with exit code 137, then that indicates a longer grace period is needed.

The grace period can be increased using [the -t option on docker-compose down](https://docs.docker.com/compose/reference/down/) or set the [stop_grace_period](https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/05-services/#stop_grace_period) in the compose file.
