    Finally I found out the way, even if it was really casually. You need to open web.config file which is located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Report Server\PBIRS\ReportServer and there at line 13 in </authentication> parameter there's a timeout set to 60, which is the length of user session in minutes. You need to edit it and then stop and restart the Report Server through Report Server Configuration Manager.
