That value you can change in admin panel. Available the next values:

• 1 hour
• 3 hours
• 6 hours
• 1 day
• 2 weeks

How to use?

In settings.py you should to set a one of two constants:

RESTRICTED_PATHS = ['/api/']

The paths are participating in checking access

or...

EXCLUDED_PATHS = ['/api/stuff/login/', '/api/stuff/signup/', '/admin/']

...paths, which are excluded from it, but rest of the endpoints there are in checking.
