Supabase client stops working after switching browser tabs (works only after refresh)
Hi Supabase team,
I'm running into an issue with
The client works fine at first, but when I switch to another browser tab and then return, Supabase methods stop working — for example,
I want the Supabase client to keep working without a full reload when the user returns to the tab. I've tried manually reinitializing the client on
What could be causing this? Is this a known issue with how Supabase handles tab visibility or backgrounded tabs?
Thanks in advance!

supabase.auth.getSession() or any supabase.from(...).select() calls do nothing. It's like the client is no longer active.
