The behaviour of sudo is configured in /etc/sudoers file and by default timeout of the sudo command is 15 minutes.
The /etc/sudoers file has a timestamp_timeout option responsible for reprompting the user for password after specific amount of time. The good news is that you can increase this number to a larger one (in minutes) by adding a string in the /etc/sudoers file. After that time sudo will ask for password again.
