Control Panel Session Expiration

Go to System → Settings → System

This setting determines the amount of time (in minutes) that can pass without any activity before you're automatically logged out of the control panel due to inactivity. This helps protect your account from unauthorized access.

There's also a related PHP session expiration time configured on your server, which can override this setting. Your control panel session expiration value cannot exceed the session.gc_maxlifetime directive (check this value in PHPinfo ).

To ensure proper session management, make sure your control panel session expiration time is less than or equal to the session.gc_maxlifetime value.
