Hello @prakashmantaray,
You can check if the session timeout is set to a low value in the ssh config.
#ClientAliveInterval #ClientAliveCountMax
The ClientAliveInterval parameter specifies the time in seconds that the server will wait before sending a null packet to the client system to keep the connection alive.
ClientAliveInterval 1200Once done, reload the OpenSSH daemon for the changes to come into effect.
We also have a tutorial on How to Troubleshoot SSH Connectivity Issues

Hi @prakashmantaray,
When do you receive the timeout? Does the system show you the login prompt ?
If you aren’t already using SSH keys to connect to your Droplet, I would like you to check these links:
