Onshape session timed out

Why do sessions timeout so fast?
I would often need some sketch open with dimensions whole day while doing other things and occasionally checking some dimension.
If there must be timeouts, it should get back to exactly same screen / state which was open before timeout. Current behavior easily leads to unfinished sketches hanging around because of timeouts.
Anyone else annoyed by greyed out screen with timeout while working on another screen or searching for information to proceed with sketch or so..?

Thanks

For getting back to where you were (say into sketch edit), currently there is no place for that data to be stored.
So I'll lower my request to 120 minutes to survive over usual meetings or lunch hour. And hope they will come up with some solution to capture the left off point as the time goes.
I'd prefer to be able to disable timeout.
It's also OK if one could set according his/her own preference.
Do you see any chance that it will be implemented anytime soon?
Thank you
I see. I thought it was only for security reasons and since I'm using it for hobby purposes at home I'm not that afraid of loosing my "intelectual property".
But it makes sense to spare server resources on your side!
Edit:
Do you think that it makes sense that once the Onshape tab is avtivated by the user, the application is refreshed automatically? I mean if the user saves his/her login information in the browser the intention is to login fast without any check anyway. And if the user has doubts he/she wouldn't let the browser remember login datas so when it is refreshed automatically, the login procedure should be done anyway.
This is not a good idea I think.
