The companion device api hasn't received much love from Google unfortunately. The fact that it has a timeout is undocumented and it's not even possible to stop the scan for example when the Activity is destroyed or the user leaves.

Anyway, the timeout is 20 seconds (as the time of writing this post) as can be found here: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/158d5e7f788d9b4d6d8876d38118250979c35e37%5E%21/.
