SpotifyConnectionTerminatedException - App looses Spotify connection after some time

[Jensssen]

In our app and also in the app-remote-sample app, provided by Spotify, a SpotifyConnectionTerminatedException is thrown approx. 5 minutes after app start. It seems that the app disconnects from Spotify automatically after some time and you have to connect again. What triggers this Exception? Why is it triggered? How can we prevent such a "random" connection loss?

I have the same issue after 10'. Should we renew the connection beforehand?
