[keycloak-user] Does refreshing the token extend the session?

[Bill Burke]

The idle timeout is refreshed whenever a token refresh is executed (or 
whenever a successful SAML or OIDC login request happens).  The max 
timeout of the session is static though and never changing.

Our users can jump in and out of our angular app. When they come back in the initialization logic goes to the key cloak server to make sure they are logged in. What our QA team is telling us is after 2-3 hours of clicking on the site the user is no longer logged in, but some of the calls with bearer tokens still go through. We need to know if refreshing the token or doing the 'check-sso' extends the session.
