Is SP expiring user session prematurely?

Thanks Scott! 

It was a mistake on my part to use the time "NotOnOrAfter" under <saml:Conditions>. If the SP will expire the session based on "SessionNotOnOrAfter" under <saml:AuthnStatement>, then the session should have expired at 2013-03-20T11:46:24Z, instead it expired at 11:54. Does the SP expire the session when some form of request is made? In other words, SP checks expiry of session when user performs some action in the application that the SP is protecting?
