By default sdk uses persistent authentication [1], and to achieve that used
http session, the default for the session idle state is 2 hours (IIRC) after that,
if you'll try to perform any action, it will fail with 401 error,

by changing session_timeout in the SDK, you can define your own session timeout.

[1] you can switch off persistent authentication by making 'persistent_auth=False',
but please note that then authentication will take place per sdk request.
