Description Jeff Fearn 🐞 2020-10-09 13:05:59 UTC

Description of problem:
The session limit introduced in Bug 1854250 is breaking numerous poorly designed applications. We need to turn this off for a release or two and allow these users to fix their broken systems.

If you are one of the people affected you should move to using API keys.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
5.0.4-rh48

How reproducible:
Easy

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a bot
2. do not use api_keys
3. do not take any effort to manage your sessions
4. login every call

Actual results:
You hit the session limit.

Expected results:
You don't hit the limit.

Additional info:
This will be a short reprieve and users are expected to either switch to api_keys or handle sessions properly.

Temporary workaround is to login through the UI, go to preferences, session tab and 'Log out all other sessions'.

This change is now live. If there are any issues, do not reopen this bug. Instead, you should create a new bug and reference this bug.
