On Sun, Aug 31, 3:09 PM GMT+6 (12 days ago), I emailed support@convex.com with the subject line:

Subject: logged out
Body:

why every time i close my browser, I get logged out?

my GitHub id is 2u841r, email is this (sending email)
and zubair@ibnzamir.com

No reply for over 10 days.

Then on Thu, Sep 11, 12:38 AM GMT+6 (1 day ago), I replied again to that same email:

hi, not fixed, and got no reply.

Finally, I received a response from Graham at Convex support:

Hi Jubair,

Sorry for the delay, let me check with the team and see if we are having any known issues with login sessions going away too quickly.

My Own Fix

Before writing this article, I tried to investigate myself.

Turns out, the issue is related to the wos-session cookie. Its Expires / Max-age value was set to “Session”, which means it disappears when the browser is closed.

I manually changed it to a future time — and it worked.

Closing Thoughts

Convex should’ve responded more quickly. Even if this was intentional (say, a security feature), a simple reply explaining it would’ve saved me a lot of frustration.

Thanks.
