Slightly more frequent log outs

In the past couple of days, Niantic Wayfarer has been signing me out more often than usual. It might be anytime between 12 or 24 hours that I will stay logged in while reviewing, to which after taking a break or logging back in the next day, it will often take me back to the log in homepage.
Even more recently, Wayfarer has been signing me out mid-review. Sometimes I will submit my review to which it will just pause and do nothing while trying to click any of the buttons. Then I'll refresh the page which will take me to the log in page, to which I will log in and then it will once again, route me the same nomination to review.
It used to be a couple of days, maybe even up to a week where my browser and/or Wayfarer would keep me logged in and authenticated to do reviews and maybe pick them back up when I want to, but it's almost now a daily occurrence that I am being signed out. Yeah, the process really doesn't take long, maybe about ten seconds or so, but I've noticed this change in the last week or so.
I don't believe anything on my end has changed in terms of how my browser handles cookies or anything of the sort, but is this something known?

Can confirm. It logs me out multiple times a day, even though I looked at my nominations like 15 minutes ago and still had the tab open.
I seem to be getting logged out if I leave the page idle for literally a couple of minutes. This is definitely not the behaviour I'm used to from Wayfarer
I have noticed this as well. It's becoming a little irritating.
Woah. The log outs are getting insane. Less than 15 minutes into reviewing after taking some minute-long breaks and it asks me to log in again. Guessing something broke.
Yep, same here.
Same here. Make that very frequent log outs. Wasn't like that before. Can't pinpoint exactly when it started, but recently.
Yeah, same for me. It's definitely annoying.
Phew glad I’m not only one.
it is constantly logging me out, sometimes I hit submit and the same poi appears or it just freezes. Just tried to correct a pin placement and the pin disappears.
Giving up as it’s just a frustrating waste of time.
In case it’s relevant I review on an iPad with Safari
oh and another glitch was a duplicate showed up. And I had to log out and in but now the duplicate had disappeared.
Me too. I am on a Windows computer using Chrome. I would describe it as much more frequently rather than slightly more frequently.
@NianticGiffard
Slightly more was on February 12. It is becoming very frequent now two days later.
Yeah. The missing/disappearing duplicates, which can be missing at initial load or after reload/relogin is reported here:

Thanks for reporting! I'll check with the concerned team regarding the issue and circle back later.
Its so annoying. Fix it please
Something is definitely off, I can't scroll nominations anymore on mobile either :(
I have time at te moment to do reviewing and it is frustrating that the combination of the frequent log out and disappearing duplicates make it virtually unplayable.
@NianticGiffard any up date on both these issues
I just tried to edit a Wayspot nomination, but as soon as I hit "save" the buttons turned grey and nothing happenend. Refreshed the site and I was told to sign in again. Great news is my changes were saved, but still weird behavior! :D
I didn't even fare 5 entire minutes of reviewing before it logged me out... holy goodness this is exceptionally bad.
I understand how frustrating this issue is for you guys, we'll make sure to get it fixed soon.
Thanks
Seems like the log-out bug was fixed? :)
Let me test throughout tomorrow. Coming back home tonight, I was logged out. Will see if I stay on for at least more than 24 hours.
I can confirm the fix has been doing something, i have been logged in for a few hours now without the constant log outs.
It's looking good! 9 hours so far without a logout, kept me in overnight. I think it is fixed now, cheers.
Yeah, it seems to be working OK for me now as well.
