Description

### What are you trying to do?

If your login expiration is set to 1 day, you immediately get a warning that you are close to timing out and offering to let you log in again, right after logging in.

My guess is that the warning is given if your login expires within a day, which of course it always does, if the organizations login timeout is 1 day.

I would suggest that for the boundary condition of login set to one day, there should maybe be a shorter window of maybe something like 8 hours?

### How should we solve this?

Either shorten the lead time to a reasonable number of hours for a warning when the organization timeout is set to 1 day. Maybe also for two days?

Or, make this configurable, at the organization level, in days/hours?

### What is the impact of not solving this?

Annoying and pointless warning all the time, if the organization uses a 1 day timeout.

This warning would be very, very confusing for end users who do not know/understand the situation.

### Anything else?
