Is it normal for the proxmox gui shell to timeout after being inactive for 1-3 minutes?
Is it normal for the proxmox gui console to refresh and reconnect after about 30 seconds of inactivity?

For e.x. If i am using shell to run commands or updates it times out after a minute or so. I get a connection closed code 1006 and have to refresh to bring shell back up.
With the console i can open a console to one of my vms it comes up and seems to stay connected if im doing something on it. if i let it set for 30seconds or so it will say connecting and reconnect. The tasks at bottom of screen print a new entry every time it connects.

Is this normal behavior and if so how do I increase the amount of time before it happens?
 
I figured it out. I use HAproxy and the client and server timeouts were set to 30 seconds. Therefore after 30 seconds of inactivity the proxy refreshed connection.
