Capture a trace of the call using Wireshark. Are you sure there's no
RTP packets during that period? Also remember that the config change
needs to be picked up by restarting the FreeSWITCH profile (the
easiest way to be 100% sure is just to restart FS).

Sharing your configuration could also be useful, in case there's a typo.

Correct, they're different. Session timers are a request/response in
the SIP signalling layer. RTP timers are simply no RTP media packets
received for a given period of time. There's no dependancy between
them. You can use either none/one/the other/both.

Incidentally the reason to prefer SIP session timers to RTP timers is
that not all calls will send RTP. For example FS won't by default when
it's only recording something (voicemail):
