Stop the "Posit Workbench Login Required" Popup on Rstudio Server

My company uses Rstudio in kubeflow on a custom image we maintain. I recently updated the Rstudio version to 2024.12.0-467 - since then we get a "Posit Workbench Login Required" popup after about 2 hours of idling (see image). We can refresh the browser and return to the session, but it is mildly disruptive. More importantly this is confusing people because we do not have posit workbench (we do have posit connect though!), and we control idling in our kubernetes/kubeflow settings, which is significantly longer than this.

I've tried modifiyng the session and auth timeouts i.e. "session-timeout-minutes=0" in /etc/rstudio/rsession.conf, and auth-stay-signed-in-days=0 in rserver.conf, but that does not seem to impact it. According to the docs the default setting is either 60 or 120 minutes, depending on which setting is controlling this, so this tracks with what we're seeing, but setting to 0 doesnt help. Are there other settings that control this we're missing?

our session and server conf files look like this:

(ado) jovyan@9e78c7b43b65:~$ cat /etc/rstudio/rsession.conf 
# R Session Configuration File


copilot-enabled=1
session-timeout-minutes=0
(ado) jovyan@9e78c7b43b65:~$ cat /etc/rstudio/rserver.conf 
# Server Configuration File

www-frame-origin=same
auth-timeout-minutes=0
auth-stay-signed-in-days=90
