conv.data (session data) rots on long sessions of actions.intent.MEDIA_STATUS

I occasionally get empty object in conv.data (session data) for actions.intent.MEDIA_STATUS intent.

This bug isn’t easy to reproduce but in long sessions, about an hour or more of media responses, I get empty conv.data (session data), which we use heavily and it shouldn’t be empty. Because we store playlist there, we lost context with empty session data.

It seems like conv.data rots maybe because actions.intent.MEDIA_STATUS intents there could be few minutes without any interaction with user.

What is interesting conversation is still active:

{
  //...
  request: {
  conversation: { 
    conversationId: 'ABwpp....',
    type: 'ACTIVE',
    conversationToken: '["_actions_on_google"]' 
  }
  //...
}

Yeah you’d be able to store the timestamp for a session within Firestore, then create a cloud function connected to Cloud Scheduler to clear out old entries.

That’ll work. I believe you’ll need user consent to store data before that’ll pass certification though.

Also there’s conv.user.userStorage or similar for that.
