Explanation

In ServiceNow's out-of-box (base) configuration, a scheduled job monitors incidents in the Resolved state. After 7 days without any further action, the job automatically transitions those incidents to the Closed state. This default behavior encourages timely closure and prevents a backlog of stale resolved incidents. No notifications are sent to assignment group managers or assigned users, and no post-incident report is automatically generated by this mechanism.
