Question

My sessions with devise timeout after 1-3 hours of non-use (not sure exactly how long). How can I adjust this?

I’ve looked over the docs and can’t seem to find a setting for this.

Look in config/initializers/devise.rb. There are a lot of configuration settings including config.timeout_in. The default in my version is 30 minutes. You can also set it on the model itself:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  devise :timeoutable, :timeout_in => 15.minutes

You can now also set the timeout dynamically.
