if the bag of holding has no air and time doesnt pass. how do thing suffocate if in the bag if its timeless. also if i put meat in there will it still spoil or will it be preserved
Hi! I'm just curious where the idea came from that time passes differently inside a bag of holding or that it doesn't contain air?
The text for a bag of holding which I quoted below doesn't indicate anything about the nature of the extradimensional space created by the bag for the storage of items. It also DOES give rules for creatures suffocating when the air in the bag runs out. This would indicate that the bag does contain air AND that time passes inside the bag.
"This bag has an interior space considerably larger than its outside dimensions, roughly 2 feet in diameter at the mouth and 4 feet deep. The bag can hold up to 500 pounds, not exceeding a volume of 64 cubic feet. The bag weighs 15 pounds, regardless of its contents. Retrieving an item from the bag requires an action.
If the bag is overloaded, pierced, or torn, it ruptures and is destroyed, and its contents are scattered in the Astral Plane. If the bag is turned inside out, its contents spill forth, unharmed, but the bag must be put right before it can be used again. Breathing creatures inside the bag can survive up to a number of minutes equal to 10 divided by the number of creatures (minimum 1 minute), after which time they begin to suffocate.
Placing a bag of holding inside an extradimensional space created by a handy haversack, portable hole, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate originates where the one item was placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate is sucked through it to a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and can’t be reopened."

Timeless is different than stopping time. Things may not age but the oxygen will be depleted.
