  <p>It's a similar problem to <a href="https://civicrm.stackexchange.com/questions/27182/intermittent-your-browser-session-has-expired-and-we-are-unable-to-complete-you">Intermittent &quot;Your browser session has expired and we are unable to complete your form submission&quot; errors</a>, but we're on CiviCRM 5.7.6 and Drupal 7.67.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to change these timeout settings?</p>

Comments.Text: How often is it happening? Drupal 7 has a default timeout in drupal's settings.php but it's quite long so that might not be the problem, but you can change it to 0 for unlimited just to see if it fixes it.

Comments.Text: Thanks for the input! Yes this could be it. The page is open while our canvasser has a conversation with the new member, so it will likely be 10+ minutes. It works fine for regular web use.

Comments.Text: The default drupal one is much longer than that so I'm not sure it's the problem. Check also if you have any 3rd party autologout drupal modules enabled.

  It's a similar problem to [Intermittent "Your browser session has expired and we are unable to complete your form submission" errors](https://civicrm.stackexchange.com/questions/27182/intermittent-your-browser-session-has-expired-and-we-are-unable-to-complete-you), but we're on CiviCRM 5.7.6 and Drupal 7.67.
  
  Is it possible to change these timeout settings?
  
  Thanks,  
  Sam
