Description This article details regarding authentication timeout when using the 'My Captive Portal' feature from FortiEdge Cloud.
Scope FortiEdge Cloud 24.3.0 or newer.
Solution

When using FortiEdge Cloud captive portal, there is a default authentication timeout for all users of 86400 seconds, i.e., 24 hours.

 

It is possible to set the Captive Portal User authentication timeout under Network Settings -> Timeout:

This means that every time a user accesses the SSID, after the specified period, that user will have to go through the captive portal authentication process again.
