I have a quick question about being disconnected by being AFK

You know how if you're AFK, you'll eventually get taken back to your character page, and then eventually back to the login menu?
If you manually log out to your character page and THEN go afk, does the game wait the same amount of time overall to disconnect you? Or does it act the same, as if you were AFKed to your character page?

yes it acts as if youre sitting around afk in-game, because even if youre at the character selection screen youre still connected to that server thus taking up a spot for someone who actuallys plans on playing and not sitting around afk.

I understand what you're asking, but I don't know the answer unfortunately. I always assumed the timers were separate, but have never actually timed it to check. I'm fairly sure, if they are different, that the character screen timer is no shorter than the in-game one. I know this because I often AFK for half an hour or so with it left on the character screen, and it's usually still logged in when I get back.
The in-game timer seems to be 30 minutes btw. If you leave a character standing around they will sit down and become "AFK" after 5 minutes, then I believe it another 30 minutes after that when they finally get auto-logged out.
Just out of curiosity, why do you want to know this?

Here's what I meant. Suppose it takes 15 minutes of being AFK in-game to be taken to the character page, and 15 minutes more to be taken to the login page. If I manually go the character page, and
then
go AFK, does it still boot me after 15 minutes at the character page? Or does it give me 30 minutes at the character screen before taking me to the login screen? As in, does it measure your overall time AFK, or your time AFK in each individual circumstance?
I know
that it doesn't taken 15 minutes each. I just picked a number for my example.
I want to know because I'm curious.

They are separate timers.

They are separate timers.
So manually logging out to the character page reduces the amount of time I can be AFK before being disconnected from the server?
