The pure-Rasa solution would be to use [Reminders](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/reaching-out-to-user/#reminders) that are set after every bot response and canceled/reset after every user message.

Otherwise, if you have a custom front-end interface for your bot, you can just do that in your code by triggering an intent if the last message was more than X minutes ago.
