I heard it’s a bad idea to leave yourself indefinitely signed in to your Google Gmail account. Does anybody know why this is a bad idea?

Gmail will log you off after a couple of days, so don't worry about it...

Really Wombat? I didn't know that one....lol I have so many different accounts that I am constantly logging off and then back in under a knew one!
I stay signed in the last one that I was on and never had been in any problem for it nor seen any issues concerning it....I personnally can't see anything wrong about it if it is your own computer and no one else has access to it....but if others can access it then there is a possibility that they can use your sign in name and just read your mail at any time!

I think it logs me out when I swap computers, it does not like two logins at the same time Lurks.
It's still in Beta Per.
The OP's question is a nonsense anyway...

I found an alarming number of web pages describing how gmail filters have or have had weaknesses and might expose you to hackers. Most of it is 07 information and may have been fixed but just to be safe, I’m logging off after I’m done with gmail.
