While using monero-wallet-cli, I am frequently getting this message:

 ____________________________________________   
/ I locked your Monero wallet to protect you \
\ while you were away                        /
 --------------------------------------------
        \   (__)
         \  (oo)\_______
            (__)\       )\/\
                ||----w |
                ||     ||


Locked due to inactivity. The wallet password is required to unlock the console.

How can I disable this behavior or increase the timeout?

By default, the wallet will ask for the password after 90 seconds of inactivity. You can see this by loading the wallet, then running this command:

set

Look for the entry for inactivity-lock-timeout.

You can increase the timeout to say 10 minutes like so:

set inactivity-lock-timeout 600

Or disable this functionality like so:

set inactivity-lock-timeout 0
