# Session lifetime limits

Session lifetime limits determine how long the system should retain a login session. For security reasons, users are logged out automatically after certain intervals:

* **Inactivity timeout**: Period after a user's session expires - given they do not interact with the console. This occurs after **3 minutes** **of inactivity**.
* **Require login after**: Period after a user's session expires - independent of their interaction with the console. This is set to **30 days after login**.
