Your regex piece is

(?<session_value>[\w]{1,}+)

which says to match one or more \w characters ({1,}), one or more times (+)

\w is "word character", which is alnum-or-underscore.

If you want to match "word character or plus", use something like [\w+].

And then also probably remove one of "{1,}" and "+", since they mean
the same thing and having both is redundant.
