Laravel 10 - implementing using Redis as session driver causing unexpected session timeouts
I tried several approaches but none seem to work. I'm experiencing unexpected session timeouts while using Redis as the session driver in my Laravel 10 application. I've set up Redis in my `config/session.php` file like this: ```php 'driver' => 'redis', 'connection' => 'default', 'lifetime' => 120, 'expire_on_close' => false, 'lottery' => [2, 100], domain' => null, 'path' => '/', 'same_site' => null, 'http_only' => true, 'secure' => false, 'encrypt' => false, ``` However, I'm noticing that sessions are expiring much sooner than the specified `lifetime`, and sometimes users are being logged out unexpectedly. I've checked the Redis server, and it's running without any reported issues. Additionally, I've verified that the Laravel application is correctly connecting to Redis by running the following command: ```bash php artisan tinker ``` And executing: ```php Cache::store('redis')->put('test_key', 'test_value', 10); ``` This successfully stored a value in Redis for 10 seconds. The question seems to occur when users are actively navigating the application, as the sessions randomly expire, making it frustrating for the users. I've also tried increasing the `lifetime`, but that didn't seem to help. I don't see any related errors in the logs, but I did notice a warning in the Laravel debug bar indicating that the session is being regenerated frequently. Could it be that the session `id` is being regenerated too often? Any suggestions on how to diagnose or resolve this scenario would be greatly appreciated. For context: I'm using Php on macOS.
