Is it possible to "timeout" a friend request after some time? We want to limit the amount of friends a player has (confirmed/unconfirmed/pending). But of course, if someone neither accepts/declines the request, we would like to decline the request automatically. Should we handle this logic locally, or is there a better way we can time out requests?

The current Friend system on PlayFab uses “follow” mechanism, which is one-side, and there is no additional confirmation steps.
I think you may handle your own 2-way confirmation, and please refer to Brendan’s suggestions on https://community.playfab.com/questions/370/206712537-Two-way-friend-confirmation-with-Cloud-Script.html. Feel free to tell us if you have any other questions.
It will also be appreciated if you can send a thread on the Feature Requests forum on: https://community.playfab.com/spaces/24/index.html
