This patch will increase the time limit before sickel acts from 10 seconds to 20 or 30 seconds, giving a bit more time for slow tasks to complete. It should work with all firmware versions from 4.3.8842 to 4.5.9587.
Are you sure you have the times right? My understanding was that sickel was triggered after a minute. It was a lot shorter when it was first introduced, but, when Kobo turned it back on, they said they extended it to 60 seconds. And that the reboots I have seen with big kepubs did seem to be after more than a minute.
