I would think logging off, shutting down, or going into low-power mode
(standby, hibernate) whether configured for an idle time to activate or
closing the lid (for a laptop) would terminate the connection.

That's the message they sent you on your end of a disconnected session.
I'm not sure that telling you the uptime for a connection equates to
telling you the connection somehow expired at that time (versus the
other end doing the disconnect as noted above).

When it happens again, just call your sister to find out if she logged
off, shutdown, close the lid, or her computer is in low-power mode
(e.g., hibernated).

They may suspect commercial use if you leave a connection open for hours
(or anything longer than they expect for personal use).  The amount of
bandwidth could also be a consideration.  All the time you leave that
connection up there may be bandwidth for any video changes for the
remote host (you didn't mention if your sister's screen was static so
there were no deltas to report back to you).

There also appears to be a user-configurable idle timeout setting.  See:

  https://blog.teamviewer.com/idle-session-timeout/

which says:

  With TeamViewer 10, idle session timeout is a user-definable option 
  that can be set from 30 minutes to up to eight hours. Supporters and 
  their clients never have to worry about idle sessions remaining open. 

and:

https://www.teamviewer.com/en/news/441-TeamViewer-10-Final-Released.aspx

which mentions:

  New features in TeamViewer 10
  * Idle session timeout

I don't know on which endpoint (local or remote host) this setting is
effected.  Since they mention an idle session timeout feature, you need
to dig into TeamViewer to see where that is.
