Max session timeout and behavior of resetting a session

Happy new year there!
I plan to use UQ[py]Lab for some Monte Carlo analysis. Given that the analysis can take quite a long time, I’d like to increase the session timeout to hours (for example) while the default timeout is 160 seconds. According to this Q&A (Uq[py]lab v0.95 - trouble connecting to a UQ cloud session - #6 by Adela), I can do mySession.timeout = my_desired_time; But I have the following questions:

  • What is the max session timeout I can use? I think there might be a limit.
  • I may need to reset a session a few times. Does resetting a session also reset the elapsed time to zero?

Thanks in advance for your help. I’d appreacite your pointers as it can help me better plan my computational workflow.

Sincerely,
Xinyue
