session.gc_maxlifetime is not what you are looking for. it works like at
every request there is a 1/100 chance
(session.gc_probability/session.gc_divisor) that the garbage collector
will run. if it runs, and finds session data older than
session.gc_maxlifetime, that is cleaned up.

in order to achieve what you want you should store a 'last action'
timestamp or something like that in the session, and upon each request
check how many seconds passed since that timestamp and decide session
validity based on that. eg:

session_start();
if ($_SESSION['last_action_timestamp'] - time() > $max_lifetime)
{
        // session expired
}
else
{
        $_SESSION['last_action_timestamp'] = time();
}
