Logout Countdown timer in backend header

[Knubbi]

Would be nice to have a timer that shows the time to auto-log out.

This would prevent losing work when the user tries to save input while the session was terminated in between.

Interesting thought. Maybe a notice similar to when one is editing the same page in two or more places.

That's OK for the last few seconds before time runs out, but the countdown timer should be in a fixed position. I always use AOS with a fixed header, so that is a good candidate but default themes do not seem to have a fixed header. Maybe Admin UIkit Theme does have a fixed header? I have not seen it for a while...

Perhaps the header could turn red if expiration is getting close.

This is not intuitive. What does a red header mean? It could be anything. A timer that reads "Time until logout: 10 sec." would be the best from a UX perspective.
