I have been searching for some time and not been able to come up with anything so far. I was wondering if anyone has been able to reduce the timeout on the Touch ID enablement?

Currently I believe it is set to 24 hours inactive, then you must enter your password. But we'd like to change it to 4 hours.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

bioutil in the command line doesn't seem to offer any options to adjust that behavior. Nothing mentioned on the kbase article, sounds like a feature request for Apple.
