ACCESSIBILITY TASK · REVIEWED AUGUST 31, 2026
Timeout Warning and Session Recovery Check
People need enough time to read, compose and respond, with a clear warning before work is lost.
This task records scoped evidence. It is not accessibility certification, legal advice or a universal result.
What this page owns
Check whether session timeouts warn users and preserve entered chat safely.
Begin with the named task and preserve the setup. Do not turn a product statement, automated scan or reachable page into proof that a person can complete the task.
Four steps, one documented result
- 01
Find published session or inactivity terms before starting.
- 02
Use only a harmless fictional draft while observing the interface.
- 03
Check whether a warning offers a clear extension or save path.
- 04
Return after the timeout and document what was preserved or removed.
Make the observation reproducible
- Setup
- Device, operating system, browser, input method and assistive technology.
- Task
- Starting point, action and expected outcome in plain language.
- Result
- Pass, barrier observed or not checked — never a guessed score.
- Limit
- Vendor terms describe policy; they do not prove the interface behavior. Label terms and observations separately.
