How to exit a function after a certain period of time?

Question

go

I am writing a chat bot for VK. The main handler function, launched in a separate goroutine, reacts to events, for example, if a new message has arrived. I need to exit this function to release resources if no events occur within 24 hours. How to implement it in Go?
