Increase Session Timeout In Laravel

In this article, I will show you how to increase the session timeout in Laravel.

NOTE: Laravel session timeouts are set in minutes

We will be covering the following topics

1. Session Settings In .env File
2. Settings In config/settings.php File

---

Session Settings In .env File

Increase the session timeout for 1 year.

.env Settings

SESSION_LIFETIME=525600

Calculation for 1 year (365 days)

365 days * 24 hours * 60 minutes = 525600 minutes

---

Settings In config/session.php File

You can even directly edit lifetime in the session config settings as shown below.

As you see by default it will read from the .env file. If you by chance delete the SESSION_LIFETIME in .env file then it will add 43200 minutes.

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Str;

return [
    .......

    'lifetime' => env('SESSION_LIFETIME', 43200),
    
    .......
];
