Just like the actual brig locks, it can go up to 5 minutes and then automatically unlocks.
Makes sense that the portable version of the brig could function this way in case the actual brig was damaged

Seeing as the port-a-brig can already be unlocked by someone inside within 2.5 minutes, that should probably also be the upper limit if this were to be implemented.
Not sure if we want to condone using the port-a-brig when it is not necessary, though, there is quite a bit of a difference between being in a closed room with some stuff and being literally unable to do anything.

Yeah, I don't think that this is quite necessary. Like zjdtmkhzt says, you can escape the port a brig by resisting/flipping after 2.5 minutes. Surely anyone put in there would attempt that, since you'd attempt it when being put in cuffs. And you only really ever get put in the port-a-brig if you're very dangerous or arrested in an extremely tense situation where sec officers can't physically drag you to security.
