Your Session Has Expired, Please Refresh and Try Again

What Causes the "Your Session has Expired" Error on Reddit?

• Improper Login:The most common cause of this issue is when the account isn't logged in to properly on the computer due to which although it displays that the login was successful, it isn't registered with the servers properly and the session is terminated. This can also cause the Error 500 on Reddit and prevent you from logging in or using the site.
• New Reddit:In some cases, the error is displayed when the shift to the new Reddit layout is unsuccessful for the user. This can happen due to various reasons and when it does it will prevent the user from being able to use Reddit in the new layout. The new layout has also broken the Reddit search for some users.
