How to extend the session duration for Amazon Q Developer

If your developers use Amazon Q Developer as part of an integrated development environment (IDE), you can set the session duration for Amazon Q Developer to 90 days. Depending on when you enabled IAM Identity Center, extended session duration for Amazon Q Developer might be enabled by default. This extended session doesn’t affect the session duration of the Amazon Web Services access portal or other IAM Identity Center integrated applications.

Note

Amazon Q Developer is accessible from consoles set to commercial Amazon Web Services Regions that are enabled by default. If your IAM Identity Center instance is located in a Region where Amazon Q Developer isn’t currently accessible, enabling 90 day extended session duration won’t override the default setting. This means that your session duration remains unchanged, regardless of whether you enable 90 day extended session duration or not. For information, see Supported Regions for Amazon Q Developer.
