OK, can you provide some more information here.

Are you developing the skill currently ?

Is there also a live version of the skill ?

Are you testing the skill using the Alexa dev console ? Or are you only using a real Alexa device ?

What happens after the 2-3 hours when you try and invoke the skill, what response does Alexa give ?

Any other information ? It's highly unlikely that the skill is being automatically disabled and it's more likely to be something you're doing. So please give as much information as you can.

Is there a live version of the skill or are you developing the first version ?

Does the disabling only happen when you switch testing between the dev console and the Alexa app ?

Or if you only test with the dev console (and don't use the Alexa app) then does the disabling still occur ? Example: test in the dev console. Go away for 10 mins. Come back and resume testing in the dev console. What happens ?


(please answer all of the above)
