There is no exact feature in Wordfence like this. You can, of course, set a specified amount of time, but there is no way to automatically have the block remove itself in the event it is not used for a certain period of time. You can either set an amount of time for the block or make it permanent.
The blocking page does tell you how long it has been since the last attempt was registered for any given block in the list, which would let you know if any were active recently. A workaround would be to make a permanent block and then reference that last activity and then manually remove them if need be.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks,

May I know how I can make a BAN for X days for example, because when you go to Firewall->Blocking and clicking on Custom Pattern, there I can see any time expiration ?
Thank you

Sorry for not clarifying — if you add a block via Firewall > Blocking (either an IP or a Custom Pattern) it will be a permanent block. You can then reference the Last Attempt column to see if you’ve had any blocks registered recently from that block.
If you block via Live Traffic (if you see an IP or intruder you wish to block and click “Block IP”), that block will be for the amount of time you have set up in Wordfence > All Options > Rate Limiting Settings > How long is an IP address blocked when it breaks a rule
Please let me know if you have any questions.

I was thinking I can add time block via Firewall->Blocking.
When can be added this add-on ?
Will be nice to have it, like a real WAF.
Thank you
