I've done something in the last couple of days(changed a setting in System Ptreferences) and now, about every hour I'm not ising my Mac, it logs me off as a user and I have to log back in. It never did that before. Using Big Sur on MacBook Pro.

Thank you sooooo much! I recall seeing this. I was trying to accomplish something(don't remember what) and must have turned this on. I have been Macs for over 6 years and I STILL get wrapped around the axle!

Thanks John_Clermont — are you saying this solved your issue...(?)
