These scripts help to stop Colab from disconnecting, in 2021.

The script in click_connect_button.js clicks the connect button every minute.
The script in create_text_cell.js just adds a text cell by clicking the toolbar every minute.

you can modify the time in the setInterval function.

Hello @Elzic6!

Since we created the variable intervalTiming, we can just stop it by doing:

clearInterval(intervalTiming);

now we are getting the message even with your script:
"Colab is for interactive use. Please confirm that you are present to continue"
Any workaround?
