Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:9.9p1-3
Severity: important

I'm using ssh a lot, usually having several ssh connections open the
entire day.

About a week ago the connections started to terminate quickly, i.e.
after a few minutes (I can time this, if this is of any importance).
So I return to the ssh client, and on the first key I hit, the session
is terminated and I get a message like:

Connection to 142.132.201.35 closed.
client_loop: send disconnect: Broken pipe

The (very) bad thing is that the session is not closed ordinarily,
e.g. bash_history does not contain the last commands (fortunately I
did not have any other data loss so far).

If I work in the ssh session, the the dying is delayed, so it seems
like the sssion dies after a certain inactivity time.

But this is very annoying, I'm in the middle of some work, read a man
page or a web page just to find out, that the session died, I have to
login again, cd to the correct directory etc.

The ssh target configuration is unchanged (running Debian stable) as
well.

If you need any further information, I'm glad to provide it.
