I'm afraid it wouldn't solve the problem. Instead of 30 minutes, we 
could use another "reasonable" value (60, 90 minutes), and it would be 
almost equally frustrating. Increasing this value too much (8h, 1w), 
however, is a security concern.

I'd suggest to watch the JIRA I mentioned before and switch the client 
in the future to use those permanent tokens. Unfortunately, there's no 
good short-term solution.
