> This is a method of the [**LivenessPolicy**](../classes/LivenessPolicy) class in the [**protocols**](../modules/protocols) module.

Return the absolute time after which the connection is stale.

A connection is reaped when the evaluation-time `now` is strictly
above this deadline (`now &gt; reap_deadline(last_activity)`). Exposed
so the server reaper and the client watchdog derive the same window
from one advertised interval.
