Does time in Fallout Shelter keep running when you're not playing?
Yep, time in Fallout Shelter does keep ticking even when you're not actively playing. The game continues to simulate the Vault's needs like food, water, and power. Your dwellers will keep working, resources will still be consumed, and unfortunately, incidents can still happen. So, if you take a long break, be prepared for some surprises when you return!

Short answer: Yes, it does. Your vault keeps on living (or struggling) even when you're off doing something else. Make sure to set everything up nicely before going AFK!
Nah, it's not that bad. The game is designed to slow down resource depletion when you're not playing. So, while yes, time does progress and things can happen, it's not like you'll come back to a total disaster after a short break. Just don't leave your vault unattended for too long.
Totally does. Left my vault for a week and came back to chaos. Keep an eye on your resources and dwellers!
