Is it really that hard to log in again? Using a password manager it's basically two clicks to autofill the right account and hit the submit button.

Login limits are a good thing. It means that the chances of someone taking over your account and using it long term is minimized.

It is not. But a ton of sites seem to be inconsistent about it, or it feels that way at least. Some sites I frequent don't log me out for months at a time, and then suddenly they do. And then they do it again a few weeks later. Followed by multiple months of not doing it once more.
