Hi Local Guides!
Turns out that I was writing a post… when I wanted to post I got this error and I lost all my work 
which makes me really sad… So I would like to know why is this and if is there any way I can have my post back thanks. I tried going back to write and it says I have autosaved content but the one I was writing does not appear
Hello @Ale_003
Sorry to read that you lost a lot of work because of the authentication ticket mismatch.
When we edit a document continuously, the site saves that regularly.
However, if we take a break of more than thirty minutes & return to edit, that doesn’t work.
I pointed out that in this post.

Nevertheless, that’s a way to protect unauthorised access to our work after a sizable gap. However, there is one lacuna. We continue to add something & then at the time of preview we receive the message “Authentication ticket mismatch”
The best strategy to avoid such incidences would be to click refresh on return after a long duration.
The site will then prompt to load or discard the earlier draft. Load that & continue.
Another way is to create the document in Google Docs & paste. Google Docs updates the content regularly without asking.
Hello @Ale_003
If you start a post and take several hours to complete it, you will likely be logged out and this causes the authentication error. If you have auto-saved content you can load it by clicking on the load button
Hope that helps 
Cheers,

Hola @Ale_003 , probá abriendo otra sesión de Connect directamente desde Chrome ( no desde el link del acceso directo) y fíjate si te lo guardo en Drafts.
A veces me funcionó eso y lo pude recuperar desde ahí! No me preguntes por qué pero me funcionó.
Suerte!
Hello @Ale_003 ,
As @C_T wrote, that happens when a session has expired so you need to refresh the page when you leave the page inactive for some time.
For this reason I marked his comment as solution so it can be beneficial for other Local Guides with the same question. You can read more about solutions here: How do I mark comments as solutions?
Thank you so much for your help and your time answering @C_T @Giu_DiB @chamodhk @SebaasC
Looks like It took me sooooo long I’ll start to write again… now I’ve leaned the lesson and I’ll be be refreshing to avoid that Thanks!
Understand your discomfort @Ale_003
However, I perceive that in another way. Such occasional problems provide a chance to find something new.
Nowadays I copy and save the HTML version of drafts of Connect posts in Google Docs. So even if I discard a draft inadvertently, a backup is always there.
This happened to me while writing this Recap;
Tell-it-all-Bare-it-all Show ,it hurt so much that I had to speak about it in this Comment , it was more annoying because it was at the point of publishing, what I do now is to save my work, even though I don’t have access to my Google docs or MSword; I copy and paste in a message chat box periodically till I am done.
Take it as writing same exam twice, the next one you are going to write will be even more beautiful than the one you lost @Ale_003
Yeah it’s awful I’m glad we tried again and we learned and I hope it doesn’t happen again 
@Ewaade_3A
Happened to me as well… I´m not doing it all over again… so frustrating… pfffffffffffffffffffff
