I am also facing this problem, but it happens all the time, not only after a extended idle time.  
I have found this thread: [Manual dashboard refresh on Kibana](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/manual-dashboard-refresh-on-kibana/156814)  
And the answer redirects to an issue on github: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/23329](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/23329)

It is for an older version of Kibana (6.4) but it is still open.

Does anyone know any workaround for this problem? It is very annoying 😄
