We disconnect at 10 hours. By that time, they should either be done working or need to reauthenticate to continue. No reason to let them stay connected overnight and into the following day(s).

If you are not using Active authentication, you can try to adjust auth-timeout for all active users. Passive one should not be affected, meanwhile users with active auth. should be terminated within configured auth type, and time.

Akanibek thanks for your reply.

Our connected clients, connect to captive portal free through wi-fi with no authentication.

so we adjust auth-timeout for all active users as you told us

the default auth-timeout is 5 min but this seems not working for that reason we add the following to Cli

config user setting
    set auth-timeout-type hard-timeout
    set auth-timeout 900
end

and now works fine
