In an A/P HA pair, HA (High Availability) timers are used to determine how quickly the firewall should fail over in case of a failure. Typically, the firewall administrator can choose between several predefined timer profiles such as "normal", "aggressive", and "fast". Changing the HA timer profile to "user-defined" and manually setting the timers would allow the administrator to fine-tune the failover timing and make sure it meets the uptime requirements for the critical business applications. This approach allows the administrator to set the timers to the lowest possible value without compromising the stability and security of the firewall.
