+    A heat parameter ``IronicPowerStateChangeTimeout`` has been added which sets
+    the number of seconds to wait for power operations to complete, i.e., so
+    that a baremetal node is in the desired power state. If timed out, the power
+    operation is considered a failure. The default is 60 seconds, which is the
+    same as the current Ironic default.
