session verification happens in a stateless way in the backend so when it refreshes the session should be cleared on the frontend

Binouse · Answer

I thought it was the case too but figured out that `doesSessionExist` still returns true even when user does not exists in db

rp · Answer

yeaaa thats the disadvantage of using stateless session verification

rp · Answer

but it s a smaller issue compared of the benefit of it

How can i remove my session then

rp · Answer

also in your code when you detect this inconsistency you can throw an unauthorised error on the bakcend which will result in clearing the cookies anyway

rp · Answer

you can return a 401 to the frontend That should trigger a session refresh which will detect that the session doesn t exist > log out the user

Okay calling `Supertokens signOut ` after deleting user refresh the session
