I think there may be something environmental going on, as I'm not replicating or running into similar reports.

Can you double check and see if the server offset config override is being used?
$config['server_offset']

That could throw things off.

Hi Robin, sorry for the delay in responding. I did not receive a notice of the response.

server offset is NOT being used. I do continue to get logged out of the control panel though.

@rouviere are you still expiriencing this issue? What is the current EE version that you're running?

I know that older versions of certain add-ons (including some that are related to tagging content) might cause premature logout when CP session type is "session only" - could that be your case?
