tmux.Server.SetPrefixTimeout(ctx: context.Context, value: time.Duration) -> error
```

SetPrefixTimeout stores the "prefix-timeout" server option as time.Duration (tmux 3.5 or later). Read it with [ServerOptionValues.PrefixTimeout] from [Server.Options]; [Server.UnsetOption] restores inheritance or the global default.
