It doesn't really matter what you set that to if the entire session expires. You need to take a look at these settings:

cookie_lifetime
gc_maxlifetime

If cookie lifetime is set to 0 then any session will expire when all browser windows are closed. If set less than 24 hours, obviously the session cookie will expire as well.

gc max lifetime can be a little tricky. The session garbage collector goes out and removes sessions that have not been active for greater than gc max lifetime. Therefore, if gc max lifetime is set less than 24 hours, a session has the potential to be removed from the servers before 24 hours. For instance, let's say gc max life time is set to 4 hours. That means, if I have a period of inactivity for ~ 4 hours (it depends upon how probability and divisor are set), even if I haven't closed my browser, the garbage collector will clean up my session on the server, so my next request will no longer have a valid session.
