I did see that there is an off set of 30 seconds between the access token and jwt expiry is this by design

rp · Answer

yes That is by design

rp · Answer

Its there cause when you do `getAccessTokenPayload ` that decides if a refresh is needed based on the access token s lifetime There might be an edge case where right before the access token is about to expire you call the function and it doesn t refresh The resulting JWT in that case if used to send to another service can hence be expired So to sort of relax this edge case a bit we added an extra 30 secs to the JWT expiry
