Details

This property is reset to 0 each time there is some data exchanged across the socket connection. The property increments at 0.5 second intervals while no data is moving through this socket.

If the sock.connectiontout is not at 0, this property increments until it reaches the value of sock.connectiontout and the connection is terminated. The sock.toutcounter property then stays at the value of sock.connectiontout.

If sock.connectiontout is at 0, the maximum value that sock.toutcounter can reach is 1. That is, sock.toutcounter will be at 0 after the data exchange and at 1 if at least 0.5 seconds have passed since the last data exchange.
