The inactivity is based on time. After certain amount of time a pooled connection is closed if it isn't reused. However a number of connections are kept in the pool. This amount of connections is controlled by MinPoolSize.

As far as I know there's no accurate time which the connection can stay inactive before it's destroyed. As per my understanding the workload, amount of free connections etc affect this.

The only parameters which has an effect to the lifetime regarding inactivity period are Connection Lifetime and Load Balance Timeout even though they directly don't define the inactivity period.
