When your session expires#
Your session is your signed-in state in the dashboard. If it runs out while the dashboard is open, you see this dialog:
| Part | Text |
|---|---|
| Title | Your session expired |
| Message | The session token lapsed at HH:MM UTC. Nothing you were doing is lost — sign back in and you'll land right here. |
| Button | re-authenticate (shows "opening sign-in…" while it opens) |

- Select re-authenticate. The sign-in page opens over the dashboard.
- Sign in again.
- The dialog closes and the page refreshes its data. You stay on the same view.
Scripts and CI#
- The API does not use your sign-in. It uses API keys that start with
obs_, sent asAuthorization: Bearer(chapter 13). - Give scripts and CI systems their own key. Do not use a person's sign-in.
- Revoke a key when you no longer need it.
