Our Perspective sessions have recently started showing a session expiry popup but the number of seconds is absurd, I calculated it's like 68 years in the future. Has anyone else had this and know any possible fix? I haven't managed to screenshot it as pressing windows+s clears it away but I got a photo of it. Comes up both on web clients and on Perspective workstation.

Definitely, seems strange...

I would start by checking the inactivity settings for this project.

You can find these in the Designer under:  
`Project` \> `Project Properties` \> `Perspective` \> `Inactivity`

Should look like this:

Check and make sure that none of these values look off.

Are the clocks on your workstation and server set correctly?

Also, that number is 23 off the maximum value of a signed double integer. Not sure if that is relevant or a coincidence.

I did resolve this issue. Automatic Inactivity detection was unticked, but the Inactivity timer and grace period had weird values, I set them both to 0. The problem started happening when I added another project (separate to where the message was being displayed) which did have Inactivity detection enabled, so I disabled it there too which may have been the fix.
