From 74bf58335d3542d88b32d447b47342a76f5e5449 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Stone Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 23:14:40 +0000 Subject: Extend session lifetime and idle timeout from 7 days / 24h to 1 year Single-user personal server -- there's no one else's session at risk from staying logged in, so the short expiry was just friction. The 24h idle timeout was the more disruptive of the two in practice: a day of not opening the dashboard is a normal gap, not "abandoned," and was forcing a re-login well before the 7-day Lifetime ever mattered. Setting IdleTimeout = SessionLifetime rather than a separate shorter value collapses this to one real limit instead of two overlapping ones that could reproduce the same complaint later (e.g. a few weeks away).
