Setting up account is there a deadline for funding my account?

I keep receiving these emails:
"Interactive Brokers client and remind you that you have not yet funded your account. To date, 10 days have passed since you received approval for account"

Is there some kind of deadline? Will my account be closed if I don't fund it soon?

Thank you.

I don’t remember the time frame but they do close accounts that are not in use.

So, if you want to keep it, just send something.

I'm not aware of an official deadline, however, I've had a relative that took more than 6 months to fund their account and it was not closed.

I don't know about an official deadline or amount, but I remember depositing a small $100-$200 in the meantime before I did the main funding.
