Hey Okta Community,
We just rolled out Okta for our organisation, it's only been a few days and users are complaining about the auto-timeout of their session when they are idle on Okta.
Is there anyway to extend this session timer?
Hello @GrantW.53703 (Customer) Thank you for posting on our Community page!
Please see our doc below on how to extend the Idle time for users:

Thank you for reaching out to our Community and have a great day!
