What is the default Django session lifetime and how to change it?

Question

I can't find a setting for the default session lifetime in https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/settings/.

I know this can be changed manually (How to expire Django session in 5minutes?).

Answer 1

The setting you are looking for is SESSION_COOKIE_AGE, the default value is 1209600 which is two weeks, in seconds.
