Error when trying to upvote posts/comments? (kbin.social)

Howdy,

For awhile now (possibly even since I started using kbin in June) I've run into an issue where if I stay on a page for too long and then try and upvote something,I instead get taken to an error page. If I then go back to the page I was just on, refresh the page, and then upvote the comment/post it'll usually work. Sometimes the error shows up after staying on the page for 10+ minutes, sometimes it can happen after being there for just a minute.

Is this a known bug? It happens to me on both mobile and PC (both using Firefox).

If I had to guess, it's some kind of timeout. If I stick around on a page for too long, trying to upvote/downvote/boost anything throws an HTTP 400 error. But if I refresh the page, I can interact with no issue (HTTP 200).

I use Vivaldi but it's the same behavior on Firefox too.

@JowlesMcGee Happens to me as well with Firefox on desktop. It's the only way how I use it.

Yea, happens to me too. I wonder if it's some kind of authentication issue.

Same here. Firefox, fwiw.

I've been running into this issue a LOT, so I went down the rabbit hole. This could be any number of things, including maybe some obscure bug in an upstream component (i.e. Symfony).
