Skyrim, short term storage in random container
In know in general for long term storage putting stuff in random containers isn't good because a lot of them reset, but how long could you keep stuff in one? I'm about to do the Thalmor Embassy quest, and was wondering if I could just stash some stuff in one just while I complete it. I know that poor wood elf probably won't want to smuggle in my 5 million potions I've amassed. (idk, maybe he would, but I do kind of want to role play and do it just bringing in a few things.)
Also, if I have my follower wait someplace nearby, will the quest be over fast enough that they'll still be there when I get back?

How long can I store my stuff in random containers?
It would take a week in game time until the unowned containers would reset. It's recommended that you don't store items in random containers at all.
When my followers if waiting, how fast will the quest be enough that my followers is still waiting?
"Diplomatic Immunity" could be finished in a few minutes if you could find a way to complete it, and if you wait a day (in game), he/she will leave your service. Don't worry, the quest won't take those amount of days to finish.

Can I store items in random chests Skyrim?
Certain types of containers, including dressers and wardrobes, never respawn, so their contents are never deleted. But chests do respawn. So while the room itself isn't safe for storage, the dresser and wardrobe in the room are safe for storage.Can you store things in random barrels Skyrim?

There is at least one safe container inside Jorrvaskr. It's a chest behind the wooden railing on the right side of the hall area when entered from the main doors. Jorrvaskr's doors lock during the Battle for Whiterun quest. The locks cannot be picked, and any members or quest items inside are inaccessible.Skyrim: Wilderness Player Home (Beginners) + Secret
