In plain English
A web session is the temporary period while a website keeps an interaction active. Once its allowed time has run out, that session is no longer valid.

Here, "Session expired" reports that the current portal session is no longer valid because its time limit has been reached.
- Situation

Meaning limits
By itself, the term does not establish anything beyond the session no longer being valid because its allotted time has ended.

“When the clerk clicked Next after a long pause, the portal showed Session expired.”
