Should I Set A Shorter Max Age Parameter On The Cookies 8sbF4V

The Max-Age or Expires cookie parameters only control whether the browser sends the value to the server. Since a refresh token represents the long-lived authentication session of the user on that browser, setting a short Max-Age or Expires parameter on the cookies only results in a degraded user experience.

The only way to ensure that a user has logged out or their session has ended is to get the user's details with getUser(). The getClaims() method only checks local JWT validation (signature and expiration), but it doesn't verify with the auth server whether the session is still valid or if the user has logged out server-side.
