Which session file are you looking at? Is it the storage/framework/sessions directory?
What do you store in the session, and what is the lakhs metric? 20 hours is not long time.

Laravel session
Hi, My session file is becoming very big. How can i avoid this, My session lifetime is 20 hours is that the reason?
current files are 20 lakhs

@Nakov I think 20 lakhs is 2 million. That sounds implausible to me :)

@Sinnbeck Thanks :D
and 2 million can be anything also.. 2 million bytes is 2 MB, not scary at all I guess
Level 102
@Nakov ah true. I was thinking number of files :D
Level 73
@Sinnbeck might be, who knows :D
if it is 2 million files, that's a serious business :)

@dinni That seems like a lot, do you have 2 million active users?
in your sessions.php config file, you can increase the lottery number which will sweep inactive sessions:
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Session Sweeping Lottery
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Some session drivers must manually sweep their storage location to get
| rid of old sessions from storage. Here are the chances that it will
| happen on a given request. By default, the odds are 2 out of 100.
|
*/
'lottery' => [2, 100],
However, this will slow down your requests if you put a big number ( I am talking about increasing the odds from 2 out of 100 to let's say 20 out 100 ).

@Nakov no its around 1 lakh user

@dinni maybe try switching to another session driver. Redis or cookie
