You can configure this behavior for CLI, and by proxy could run GUI programs that require elevation through the CLI:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Sudo#Using_visudo
Defaults passwd_timeout=0(avoids long running process/updates to timeout waiting for sudo password)
Defaults timestamp_type=global (This makes password typing and it’s expiry valid for ALL terminals, so you don’t need to type sudo’s password for everything you open after)
Defaults timestamp_timeout=10(change to any amount of minutes you wish)
The last one may be the difference between having to type the password every 5 minutes versus 1-2 times a day. Make sure you take security implications into account.
