The goodbye event may be sent by a server that expects it will close the connection after an unspecified amount of time. A well formed client should reconnect to avoid data loss.

Other scenarios where you might encounter the goodbye event are:

• reaching the maximum duration of a RTM web socket connection (8 hours)
• your workspace has been inactive for over two minutes
