Hi Community,

As of now our bot has session\_expiration\_time : 60 (mins). We have a functionality to conduct surveys from our bot, but the roadblock is that if user responds after 60 mins, bot loses the context and is not able to capture the slot values thus spoiling the use-case. So can we set `session_expiration_time` to `0` ? will it affect the performance? If yes do we have any other alternative to keep the active form context even after `action_session_start` event?

@Juste Please help.

You can store it in your own db

Hi @stephans,

I tried to set the `session_expiration_time` to `0` and after training while making rasa server up it gives following error:
