In the case of unsaved data on the page (perhaps in a javascript based control) the data will be lost.
Please add a page trigger like this, perhaps with a return value to allow or prevent the timeout. This could also be used for pages that should be allowed to keep running.
trigger OnPageTimeout() : AbortTimeout : Boolean
begin
saveimportantstuff();
exit(true); // Keep the page running
exit(false); // Just time out!
end;

Same message, different version and origin. In our situation when a user is on BC23, and they personlize a page and hit the Add field button, the screen immediately freezes with the message "We paused while you were away..."

It's 2024, this issue has been flagged since 2019 (or earlier). Fucking insanity. My vote counts as 176 votes. Version 22, on-prem, webclient. How is this not already a standard function/option?

Please have this solved as soon as possible.Production workers are already lynching me because their screens time out when working on long running orders

Customers report the same issue when importing data into Business Central via Web Client.There is no workaround for this issue and it is a user blocker. Please fix it asap as it is a critical issue for certain workflows. Thank you

This error sometimes appears even though there was no real timeout. So it would be really helpful to know the real cause, but it seems like there is no telemetry associated with this event. So hopefully this is easier to determine in the future.

Voting for this feature. We need it, because we are using a visual javascript controladdin. The customer designs in this iframe (fullscreen mode) for an unspecific time range and loses his data, when he comes back to the bc page. I think this is an essential feature and can´t understand why its not even there. Setting an interval with an empty event call does not work as well:setInterval(Microsoft.Dynamics.NAV.InvokeExtensibilityMethod("keepAlive", []), 10000);

This is causing problems for our customers using LS Retail POS - I vote for this enhancement

This also a big issue when using LS Central and POS' in stores. When this happens we also experience lost connection to some peripheral devices.

Has this got anything to do with update 18.3?https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-18-3-for-microsoft-dynamics-365-business-central-2021-release-wave-1-application-build-18-3-27480-platform-build-18-0-27469-233a7611-542d-4777-a0f2-25a449b712c8399568"We paused while you were away. Please refresh to continue." error constantly exists during normal user workflow.

This is a problem with large Configuration Packages especially when migrating data. A "Pause" requires the package import/apply to restart.

Thank you for your feedback. We are considering adding it to our (longer term) roadmap.
