Chrome DevTools Keeps Refreshing Page

Question

I rely heavily on Chrome DevTools to inspect and debug my front end javascript (Angular 1.6) and have never run into any problems with it until now.

Recently, I have found that casually stepping through my breakpoints causes the page to reload after the final breakpoint. If I step through the breakpoints quickly the page does not reload.

Running the page in the browser without having DevTools open does not cause the page to reload either.

Has anyone run into this before or have any suggestions on how to eliminate this behavior?

Im currently running Chrome Version 68.0.3440.106 (Official Build) (64-bit)

You are probably after heartbeatTimeout config property in browserSync.init:
