Previously that timer was only extended while a login token was being refreshed. It is now also extended by an extra amount at two points during shutdown, so slower shutdown work has time to finish.\n\n**Why**\n\nWork that happens as a session closes, such as saving its final state, is less likely to be lost because the program quit too soon. Quitting may occasionally take a little longer as a result.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
