      The session time is set by the host requesting it be opened.

      You can query the state of existing redirections using a upnp client like:

      steve@steve-NUC9i9QNX:~$ upnpc -l
      upnpc : miniupnpc library test client, version 2.2.3.
       (c) 2005-2021 Thomas Bernard.
      Go to http://miniupnp.free.fr/ or https://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/
      for more information.
      List of UPNP devices found on the network :

      GetGenericPortMappingEntry() returned 713 (SpecifiedArrayIndexInvalid)
      

      Where the one test forward I set has 3478s left before it expires.

      Do you actually see the upnp anchors still present of have they in fact already been removed by something else which is why it shows the error?

              No, I just manually cleared the mapped ports from UPnP status page. I used wrong wording.

                Hmm, it's odd that it doesn't show a session time for the port forward. Does it ever show a time? If you check just after it's been opened?

                Does the error in the log appear after, say, 1 hr?

                  Just clear all mapped ports while PS% was on, started to play Destiny:

                    Still shows 0 leasetime though. I'm not sure how it determines when to 'expire' it.

                      In fact the mapped port 3074 is still there.
                      There is only 1 state active not related to upnp:

                      WAN	tcp	82.84.92.142:65206 (192.168.1.50:65206) -> 34.214.130.96:443	ESTABLISHED:ESTABLISHED	714 / 364	50 KiB / 32 KiB
                      

                      I am not an IT expert and I really don’t have any further idea on this.

                        Do you still see the error in the upnp logs showing it failing to remove the forward though?

                        It looks like the forward is being opened without a leasetime and I'm unsure what should happen in that situation. I can create a similar lease manually by defining 0s specifically:

                        I'll see what happens.

                          Also by omitting a lease time value.

                          I wonder if it should add a default and is not.... 🤔

                            Mmm, this thread seems pretty revealing: https://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5727#5727

                            Seems like the behaviour you're seeing is expected is the client opens forward with no lease time.

                              Yes that forum thread explains the behavior. I cannot do anything except removing mapped port manually. From a security point of view the consoles have their own IP assigned so it is ok if the mapped port are there until I remove them manually. Only consoles have access to UPnP service with proper “allow” and IP, other IP are denied by default in the Service ACL.
                              Thanks for help and time.
