As per the following KB I made changes that should have seen timeout reduced to 2 minutes.

      https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=126910597

      in <confluence_install>/confluence/WEB-INF/web.xml

      <session-config>
        <session-timeout>2</session-timeout>
      </session-config>
      

      I can't force Confluence to have a session timeout.

      This issue has been reproduced on first a customers, my and then another engineers instance.

      Workaround:

      Disable all the 'Notifications' plugins that are in the Browse > Confluence Admin > Manage addons or Plugins click on 'Show System Plugins', next to the 'System Plugins'.

      • Notifications and Tasks - Common Plugin
      • Notifications and Tasks - Confluence Provider Plugin
      • Notifications and Tasks - Host Plugin

      Additionally, you will also need to disable the Confluence Quick Reload Plugin as well, to prevent calls to /rest/quickreload/ which is triggered around every 20 seconds
