Raspberry Pi Connect • Pi-Connect disconnecting even when mouse movement?

Hi there,

I have noticed that on all of my Pi's if I use Pi-Remote to connect via Screen Sharing or Remote Shell they disconnect after a certain amount of time - maybe 15 minutes or so?

Not only after periods of inactivity but even when partway through a task.

Annoying but not too bad when using Screen Share as the screen is usually in the same state when I reconnect with the Shell open and still working but if working directly in a Shell with no Desktop when I log back on that previous Shell has gone which is more than frustrating if partway through updating packages, writing a script or otherwise inthe middle of an interactive session.

Is there a way to alter the timeout or prevent it altogether please?

Using Pi 4's running Trixie on virgin installs made using Raspberry Pi Imager if it helps?

Thanks & kind regards,
