Comment:

 When it's yellow, I don't know how they could tell that the session will
 last for "10 minutes". Probably they just recognize the IP as coming from
 Tor, so they assume that the circuit will exist for 10 minutes. And the
 red with "Unlimited" just means that they didn't recognize the IP as
 coming from Tor.

 Anyway, in the case of Tor Browser, this is not really meaningful as we
 are isolating websites by using separate circuits, so an open http session
 cannot be used to track a user across websites.

 So I think the "http session" in red is not a bug on our side, but an
 issue on their side detecting that the IP is a tor exit node.
