Description of the problem

• What did you do? In Sensu Go 6.10.0, users are now automatically logged out of the UI and sensuctl after a period of inactivity (12h).
• What happened? This impacts operations for organizations that use Puppet and have upgraded to 6.10.
• What did you expect to happen? Updating to 6.10.0, Puppet operations would continue functioning as it had.
• How can someone reproduce the problem? Upgrade from any Sensu Go version to 6.10.0.

Quick Fix:

From the 6.10 release notes:

NOTE: Custom commands making use of $SENSU_ACCESS_TOKEN and $SENSU_REFRESH_TOKEN may be impacted by the changes to sessions and refresh tokens. We recommend setting up an API key and using $SENSU_API_KEY in light of these changes.

The changes are a bit unclear, but it seems the tokens have been deleted. You can manually fix the issue by recreating a new tokens in the config (/root/.config/sensu/sensuctl/cluster): curl -X GET https://127.0.0.1:8080/auth -u user:pass -k

Then replace the new tokens in the cluster file.

the workaround proposed by @elfranne works. But it can't be used on a large number of hosts, because this password should be supplied on all the clients using sensuctl.
