Long-running R calculations that take many hours to run require the window where the calculation is running to be left open. Displayr will time out these calculations when a user closes their window because it is assumed that the user is no longer interested in the results.
An open Displayr browser window communicates with its server every 2 minutes. We typically keep a server alive if anyone has communicated with it during the last 15 minutes. The following, however, would prevent the browser from communicating with its server:
- The user closes the browser tab showing Displayr.
- The user restarts their machine.
- The user closes their laptop or otherwise puts the machine to sleep in a mode where the browser is suspended.
