New version of RedisSessionStateProvider NuGet package that fixes above reported bug. https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Web.RedisSessionStateProvider/1.5.0 We have found one more issue with this. ASP.NET doesn't call ResetItemTimeout for AJAX requests and it becomes responsibility of other session state method to slide the session timeout. We have fixed this bug and released a new NuGet package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Web.RedisSessionStateProvider/1.6.5 Mark as answer if helpful
