So, out of curiosity, what is the value of your session.gc_maxlifetime ?

I printed out the settings in the server info section before I downgraded back to 5.2. The settings are all the same, but magically, it's working correctly now. session.gc_maxlifetime is set to 900 local and 1440 master.
I don't see any reason to be rude. I came here asking for help.
