AWS Toolkit regularly logging out

[aderchox]

Problem

Very regularly I have to re-connect my AWS Builder ID
Is this by design / some intended security measure, or it should not happen?

Steps to reproduce the issue

I don't know how to reproduce this because I don't see a clear pattern, but it occurs to me that it happens when I've been idle for some time and when I've not used it for a certain period of time (e.g. a week).

Expected behavior

When I log in once, it must remain logged in unless I log out myself?

System details (run the AWS: About Toolkit command)

• AWS Toolkit version: 1.74.0

The latest version of AWS Toolkit is 1.76, which has improvements in this area. Is there a reason you're using 1.74?

I have to re-connect my AWS Builder ID ... a certain period of time (e.g. a week).

AWS Builder Id requires re-authentication after about 7 days. This is not controllable by AWS Toolkit.

No, I should've updated first, there's no reason, I just missed the update.
I've updated now and I will tell here if it happens again. Thanks.

Merging this with #3614

Because the same topic is tracked in #3614

It's a hard limit on the service-side. AWS Toolkit can't do anything to extend or "refresh" the limit beyond 7 days.

We are working with the AWS Builder Id team to extend the limit and will update #3614 when we have more information.

Update: AWS Builder Id session maximum is now 30 days, instead of 7 days.
