+## How do I change the reconnection grace time?
+
+Pass `--reconnection-grace-time <seconds>` to `code-server`, set
+`CODE_SERVER_RECONNECTION_GRACE_TIME=<seconds>`, or add
+`reconnection-grace-time: <seconds>` to
+`~/.config/code-server/config.yaml`.
+
+The default is `10800` (3 hours). If a client stays disconnected longer than
+this, it must reload the window.
