My instance of Mautic automatically times me out after a certain amount of time. I’d like to turn that off so I don’t need to keep logging in over and over again but for the life of me I can’t figure out where to change it. Does anybody in this group know? Is it hardwired into Mautic or did I do this on my server somewhere?

Can you try increasing the `session.gc_maxlifetime` value from the default of 1440 seconds (24 minutes) in **php.ini** and see if it makes a difference? If running PHP-FPM, make sure you restart your php-fpm service. Otherwise, restart the web server.

Hi guys,  
Me too I updated to Mautic 3 and my session last few minutes and then I’m disconnected…  
Did you solved the issue?
