Also, the OP didn't say *how* he set idle_session_timeout.  That
pg_settings extract only proves that 60000 is the prevailing value in
the session where that was done.  It's possible that the value was
only set locally, or in some other way that didn't affect those other
sessions at all.

Yeah, the fact all of those are for "apiuser" suggests to me that user has their own setting for this which takes precedence over the server default.

The output of \drds would be more informative than just looking at some unknown session's value.
