KDE RDP Server randomly turns off (ttrpg.network)

If I keep an RDP connection open to my other computer for awhile, eventually the connection will drop. When I check the RDP Server button under Remote Desktop in the Settings, it says it's off. Turning it back on solves the problem, but I've had it randomly turn off several times.

Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Can't speak for KDE but if you end up needing a workaround you could try installing and configuring xrdp (despite the name it works with Wayland as well as X) - just make sure to configure it listening on a different port vs KDE's RDP server (or just keep KDE's disabled, I guess).

I'm on GNOME and have both GNOME RDP and xrdp but in practice I usually just use xrdp.
