wait 30 seconds of more send a accounting stop request.
step 9) auth the users again.

 The session time out will be 1800-30=1770.

 This works, but I would like to understand, I can try that steps a
lot times and every time it give me the same result: 1770, doesn't
suppose that every time I run the same steps the counter must be
lower?

 If I run the start session and wait 2 minutes, the same behavior it
give to me 1770.

 This software is new for me but I want to understand this, thanks!!!
