 * Hi [@wfphil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfphil/), thanks for taking 
   a look!
 * Totally get that Wordfence isn’t touching session cookies directly — that makes
   sense. What’s got us a bit stuck though is that we’ve tested this really carefully
   on our end, twice each way, and the pattern keeps repeating:
    - Wordfence **off** → the logouts stop completely, both times we tried
    - Wordfence **back on** → they come back, both times
 * Since it’s so consistent, we figured it’s worth flagging in case there’s something
   indirect going on — maybe something at the request level rather than the cookie
   itself? We wondered if it could be related to a background request getting delayed
   or blocked (like a heartbeat or admin-ajax call), especially since we’re behind
   Cloudflare and also run a staging copy of the site in a subdirectory (`/staging/`)
   that shows the exact same symptom on its own login.
 * No worries if it turns out to be something outside Wordfence entirely — we just
   wanted to share what we’re seeing in case it’s useful or rings a bell for you.
   Happy to send over a diagnostic export, server details, or hop on a screen-share
   if that’d help track it down. Really appreciate you looking into this for us!
 * Thanks so much,
