How to change the auto logout function?

Users of both the desktop and mobile app find their Discourse sessions auto logout after a period of time.

Is this configurable, and if so, how?

Admin - Site Settings - Login - Maximum session age

This amount is in hours so the default is 1440 hours → 60 days

Thanks, @RGJ .

I see that setting, and I cranked it up to 20 years, but I find logouts still occur, often within 1 day.

Are there are settings governing the logout, or could this be a function of the browser or OS?

Do you have “persistent sessions” checked and “log out strict” unchecked ?

Are you frequently rebuilding?
Do you have any integrations set up?

You said “period of time”, that implies that this happens after a very specific interval?
