Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
- Be me
- Visit a Wikimedia site (but not any site, only some of them) and autologin via CentralAuth
- Wait a bit (maybe about 10 minutes?) without loading a page on that site
- Load/reload a page
I first noticed this on hewiki, but now it's happening on enwiki. I haven't noticed it on Commons.
What happens?:
You are centrally logged in as AntiCompositeNumber. Reload the page to apply your user settings.

X-Firefox-Spdy: h2The SUL dance with login.wikimedia.org and the various domains appears to work as intended. SUL3 does not appear to be involved, at least on the client side (CentralAuth requests have usesul3=0 and there are no requests to auth.wikimedia.org).
What should have happened instead?:
I should stay logged-in more than a few minutes.
Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
