Auto Reconnect to Subscription

When the subscription auto-closes after 100 second, the key question is: How can we effectively handle scenarios where the user interacts with the app, actively listening, and then leaves the app in the background for an extended period before returning to reuse it? rebuild new subscription every 1 min better or make auto update every 1min for Prevent close the subscription

TL;DR

The user is using Realtime for a chat AI app and wants to know if it's better to send a light request to refresh the subscription every 90 seconds or create a new subscription every 90 seconds. The suggestion is to keep the connection alive by updating a document every minute. It's also mentioned that having a separate endpoint that bypasses Cloudflare might be helpful. When the user leaves the app in the background, it's likely that all connections will be closed for battery saving, but it can be recreated when the user re-enters the app. There may be a limitation with Cloudflare closing idle WebSockets connections after

It shouldn't be auto closing after a minute? Is your server behind Cloudflare?

Yes, it is!

Yeah, IIRC, CF closes idle WebSockets connections after one to two minutes.

I don't think there's any way to disable that

If you want to automatically reopen, you could listen for the socket close event, and create a new connection when that happens?

It's after 100 seconds

i edited the first message for 100 seconds

Well, best would be to have that route bypass CF and not time out (I think that's possible, but not on the free plan. Alternatively, you could have a separate endpoint that doesn't go through CF for the WebSockets)?

Of course, once the user leaves the app in the background, it's likely it'll have all connections closed by battery saving, anyway. You could then recreate the onnection when the user re-enters the app

Should i keep sending a light request to refresh the subscription every 90 seconds or create a new subscription every 90 seconds which is better ?

If you have to choose between opening a new connection every minute and updating a document (to keep the connection alive) every minute, I'd say keep the connection alive

No,Now the question is: Sending a light request to refresh the subscription every 90 seconds or create a new subscription but when user interact with the app after 90 seconds (or more, may be 5 min) which is better ? what is the choosing caused ?
