The swayidle configuration is in ~/.config/sway/config.d/default. The default looks like this:

## Idle configuration
exec swayidle -w \
    timeout 1070 'swaylock -f -C ~/.config/swaylock/config'\
    resume 'swaymsg "output * dpms on"' \
    before-sleep 'swaylock -C ~/.config/swaylock/config'
 This will lock your screen after 300 seconds of inactivity, then turn off
 your displays after another 300 seconds, and turn your screens back on when
 resumed. It will also lock your screen before your computer goes to sleep.

You can change whatever you like, or just comment out the whole thing if you don't want to use swayidle or swaylock.

It sounds like you found another way to do what you wanted, but there it is for next time!
