Comment on Nextcloud logs me out whenever I leave and rejoin my local network

That’s definitely not how it should work. Leaving your LAN should not invalidate a session.
Is this in your browser, or are you talking about the desktop client?

It’s the desktop client, should have mentioned that. My browser remembers my device.

In that case, something in is invalidating the login. Are you sure that it is happening due to leaving your LAN, and not just coinciding with that?
Does restarting the laptop log you out, or temporarily disconnecting from the internet? Could you test by switching to a wifi hotspot on your phone, and switching back, for example?
The client stores your session token in the OS credentials manager (kwallet for linux kde, for example) and the issue can lie there, as well.

I will try restarting and temporarily disconnect and see if the issue pops up. Probably should have done that before…

It might turn out to be something different - but just in case it does log you out after a system restart (but maybe not after network disconnect) it would probably have something to do with kwallet (the key ring which has your credentials) not unlocking correctly.
If that’s the case this or this might be pointers in that direction.
