Big Sur restarting apps on wake from sleep

Question

This is not always the case, and maybe its the length of time in sleep, but after approximately an hour in sleep mode on waking all apps are reloaded. I loose my tabs when web browsing, apps reload without files started, and time tracking reloads (meaning I lose my current tracking data!!!). Any guidance would be welcome.

Answer 1

Found a setting under Security and privacy > General > Advanced that was set to log me out every 45 minutes. Disabling it fixed the issue.
