We are using the initAndStartSessionWithAPIKey. We are not manually handling the session. How long will the mintsessionId be alive? How frequently does it get regenerated. Also does it regenerate it even if the app goes to background?

We automatically start new session if the app was in the background for more then 5m and then switched to foreground.
If app was in the background for less then 5m, we won't start new session but rather continue the previous one.
