Comment (by azaozz):

 The current login expiration popup works well but seems unwarranted to
 check a few times every minute for something that's usually 48 hours away
 and sometimes up to 336 hours (two weeks) away. In addition it abruptly
 interrupts the users.

 A much better user experience would be to not reach the login expiration
 time at all. This is not possible at the moment. The next best thing would
 be to prompt the user to log in in advance on page load, before she/he
 makes any changes and attempts to save them.

 23295-6.patch introduces `wp_logout_time()` that returns the time left
 until login expiration and `_login_again_early()` that redirects to the
 login screen 30 minutes before expiration.
