How to stop chrome from auto reloading tab when it stays open longer?

I've been using Window 7. It is just a bit annoying when tab is auto reloaded in Chrome browser when tab is kept open for longer. It always loses my data when page is auto reloaded.

Do you have any advise to stop this Chrome's behavior?

Thanks in advance.

Why are my tabs reloading? Your device is out of memory. Like your Android phone or tablet, Chrome is silently closing background tabs in order to make memory available. When you click on one of those tabs it reloads.

Disable Automatic tab discarding at chrome://flags/#automatic-tab-discarding.

If enabled, tabs get automatically discarded from memory when the system memory is low. Discarded tabs are still visible on the tab strip and get reloaded when clicked on. Info about discarded tabs can be found at chrome://discards. #automatic-tab-discarding
