# Can I extend deadline time for bounty?

I have asked Lie Groups/Lie algebras to algebraic groups on june 13th and kept bounty of 50 reputation 6 days back and it will expire in $23$ hours

Now the question is what happens to my bounty points?

I have seen in some other question that :

If you do not award your bounty within 7 days (plus the grace period), the highest voted answer created after the bounty started with at least 2 up votes will be awarded half the bounty amount. If there's no answer meeting that criteria, the bounty is not awarded to anyone.

As no answer has even one single upvote I guess bounty is not awarded to anyone..

I have requested the one who answered to edit that a bit to make it more accessible and he said I will think a bit on how I might edit the answer to make it more accessible

So, i guess he needs some time and i do not want to go this bounty points offered to nobody...

I wanted to ask if there is any possibility that I can extend the deadline to say some three/four more days..
