I wouldn't want a polite region like this updated any more often than 4 times a minute.

That said, the phrase in the alert about your session ending included 4:59 or something like that. I don't now recall the exact amount of time, but I was satisfied that it was sufficient. I toyed with suggesting that the time announce periodically, but every second would be waaay to verbose, and coding it so it only updated on a custom cadence seemed like overkill, and there was sufficient time indicated in the design that I figured a user could see the time remaining and be able to choose to either continue or to log out without feeling rushed.

I often see a "are you still there?" type dialog with a continue and logoff button, but I'm not told how long I have before I'm logged off. If I stepped away from my computer and came back to hear the dialog, I wouldn't know if I had to hurry to find the continue button. I like timers but you obviously don't want a live region that updates every second.
