Changes to DO console session lengths

I'm noticing the DO session has shortened and I'm being prompted to login after a period of time. Please remove that session timeout, or allow a user to set a preference on disabling it.
I've only started to notice this, but it was brought up in a 2023 post: https://ideas.digitalocean.com/digitalocean/p/remembering-login-session

Yeah can somebody make the DO console session length configurable in security settings, or at least change it back to the longer lengths that it used to be?
This is a pain having to redo 2FA every 24 hours on my completely safe and completely isolated home computer.

The cookie acceptance thing also seems to be on the same expiration window. This is a very odd design pattern, separate from the short login session window

Yeah, just started noticing this. I think it used to be really long (perfect, actually), like a month or so. Now it seems to be less than 24 hours, which is pretty terrible, honestly. Make this editable in user settings, please. If you want a crappy default, fine (probably necessary for SOC2 or something, I feel your pain), but let us set a reasonable custom value, at least.

Yeah, it's really not fun re-authorizing in half a dozen places every day.
