Hello,

# 15 seconds is the default keep alive timeout
self.inactive_expiration = now + 15

The issue is when you query the session endpoint, what it returns is:

{"services":["platform"],"timeout_absolute":14400,"timeout_inactive":900,"username":"someuser"}

Timeout inactive is not 15 seconds it's 15 minutes... So not only the code is wrong but it should really do something like:
