Right now session length is hardcoded to 24h

We can probably make this much shorter by default (let's say 4 hours?) but also allow it to be set as a configuration.

Very long sessions may cause issues during the playback due to the amount of CPU and RAM consumed.

This could affect pricing so let's think before doing this change. An option is to make it configurable and keep it 24h by default.
