Android setting "Lock after" not honored

There is a setting "Lock after" in the KEY Android app. Even if I set it to something very high, for example 10 hours, I need to re-enter my master password after a short while (maybe five minutes, at any rate much earlier than after ten hours).
Is this a bug in KEY, or do I have to change some setting in Android to treat the KEY app in some special way?
I am using version 4.5.5 on Android Nougat (had the same behaviour on Marshmallow).
Idea with no actual evidence: can this have something to do with the fix for the vulnerability where the master key was stored in a less secure way? (https://team-sik.org/sik-2016-027/)

Laksh, thanks for the quick reply.
I think that article might be outdated, since it mentions "the box Remember my Master Password on this device" and I can not find such a "box", neither in the settings, nor on the main page of the app.
Also, what would the point of the "Lock after" setting be, if it isn't used?
I think "Lock after" is a much better setting than never locking, so I'm fine with the current state, if only it would work
Also, let me mention that I really like KEY. I tried a few other managers, the popular ones, but I went back to KEY.
