Logging in, logging out, impacted user experience.

I saw there have been some small discussions in the past about being logged out of Roll20 when you want to stay logged in for weeks at a time - and I will say I want this as well, security professionals be damned! 8^D  If I can't stay logged in for months from a single location then the system is broken, not my use case. =D However, recently it has been ridiculous.... Sometimes within 15 minutes I find myself logged out? How do I find this out? By things not working... playing in an active campaign... huh, for some reason Roll20-search isn't finding Slayer's Prey in the compendium, weird, I own Xanathar's.... let me open a new tab to roll20.net... huh, it shows me not logged in. <so I log in> Move back over to in-game tab... retry compendium search, now it finds Slayer's Prey. Fixed by re-logging in from a different tab in the same Chrome browser. Local Cache/Cookies? Maybe, though I am not causing chrome to touch those when I am in a fixed window in-game, with no other browser activity. So server side must be triggering an update... so what's going on server side... maybe save non-security updates until the weekend? Check that no servers are out in the cluster? Just.... let me know how I can help. Also, it's not isolated to me, others in my regular groups experience it as well. Mostly east coast, one west.

From previous experience, I would be assuming it is due to server restarts for the main forum site. They have to do this sometimes when they do minor updates that do not require the complete site to be shutdown for hours.
