May I ask why the sessions expire so quickly on the DB website? That can be quite annoying—to say the least, for example when one wants to go back in the browser history or check on the status of a certain connection in case of strikes or severe weather.

I'm not on that very project, but my guess would be that sessions are not completely stateles on the server side so they have to have session timeouts to drop obsolete sessions. I'll ask when I meet someone from that project.

That would be great. I'm genuinely interested, also why they manage sessions in the first place.
