Now that we support idle_replication_slot_timeout in milliseconds, we
can set this value from 1s to 1ms or 10millseconds and change sleep to
usleep, this will bring down the test execution time significantly:
+# Set timeout GUC on the standby to verify that the next checkpoint will not
+# invalidate synced slots.
+my $idle_timeout_1s = 1;
+$standby1->safe_psql(
+       'postgres', qq[
+    ALTER SYSTEM SET idle_replication_slot_timeout TO '${idle_timeout_1s}s';
+]);
+$standby1->reload;
+
+# Sync the primary slots to the standby
+$standby1->safe_psql('postgres', "SELECT pg_sync_replication_slots();");
+
+# Confirm that the logical failover slot is created on the standby
+is( $standby1->safe_psql(
+               'postgres',
+               q{SELECT count(*) = 1 FROM pg_replication_slots
+                 WHERE slot_name = 'sync_slot1' AND synced
+                       AND NOT temporary
+                       AND invalidation_reason IS NULL;}
+       ),
+       "t",
+       'logical slot sync_slot1 is synced to standby');
+
+# Give enough time for inactive_since to exceed the timeout
+sleep($idle_timeout_1s + 1);
