Your session is tied to the application. With a 10 second timeout, you are more than likely seeing the application timeout (which means all the sessions in it are gone too).
You can prove this by changing the application name to something like #createUUID()# or #now()# and seeing if that is also changing when you experience your issue. My guess is that every time you see this issue, the application name will have changed.
