In the Java Edition of the game, you can minimize the application or go to another virtual desktop without the app getting suspended.
However, in the Bedrock Edition, there's the problem that the UWP gets suspended. The problem is that you will get kicked from servers after a very short amount of time.
My idea is that you have the setting "Suspend after" with a dropdown menu:
- no delay
- 5 seconds
...
- 10 minutes
- never
- custom amount of seconds
Another option would be to set it to seconds/ticks (unsigned short):
0 - 65535 s (= ~18.2 days)
0 - 65535 ticks (= ~21.8 hours)
I think this would be a great update and I would appreciate it!

PS:
I think the dropdown menu is the best.
Everyone who reads this: Please comment on what you suggest!
Instead what it should do is disable graphical rendering when minimized, but keep simulation going until you switch back to the application, then it renders the chunks again.
I noticed this problem too, it's pathetic tbh.
Java MC can be minimized and not timeout.
Giving you the liberty to watch a Youtube video or open another app in the background like a media player.
bedrock edition should be coded to be the same.
or as you suggested, have it as an option, suspend after up to 5 minutes of inactivity.
after 5 minutes have passed while minimized, then the game is safe to assume no one is there and to log the person out of the world or server.

Another option would be a slider just like the render distance.
