Session with JWT always defaults to 1hr in-spite of adding the env variable ACCESS_TOKEN_VALIDITY

🐛 Bug Report

Session with JWT always defaults to 1hr in-spite of adding the env variable ACCESS_TOKEN_VALIDITY=500.

Useful Information

I was testing out the session with jwt enabled and noticed that the jwt expiry always defaults to 1hr in-spite of adding the env variable ACCESS_TOKEN_VALIDITY=60 when running super token core docker image.

Below is a example JWT with the invalid expiry date

{
  "sub": "a4572611-b5e6-45c7-914e-b6c8f8e0bd44",
  "https://hasura.io/jwt/claims": {
    "x-hasura-user-id": "5617",
    "x-hasura-session-id": "d48a0f3c-be0a-49eb-8d80-662432a66753"
  },
  "iss": "http://localhost:3100/api",
  "exp": 1658644557, //This is 1 hr which is not right based access token expiry time.
  "iat": 1658640927
}

and the Access token has the right expiry date

{
  "sessionHandle": "d48a0f3c-be0a-49eb-8d80-662432a66753",
  "userId": "a4572611-b5e6-45c7-914e-b6c8f8e0bd44",
  "refreshTokenHash1": "1e779393c3de296fdcbba172c7c1bd94108c9e0e44b3ab8121705c5885891e86",
   
    "jwt": <Removed  for readability purpose>
    "_jwtPName": "jwt"
  },
  "expiryTime": 1658640986879, //This is like 1 min expiry which is correct based on the env config
  "timeCreated": 1658640928024,
  "lmrt": 1658640928014
}

@renyijiu im not too sure if this will solve your issue, but try restarting the backend golang server and the core, and creating a new session - then inspect the JWT’s lifetime. I am reopening this issue in favour of the one you created.

I found the problem, after changing the configuration, just restart the core server, the cookie immediately took effect, the jwt expiration time will not change, after restarting the back-end services can be.

If others are experiencing the same problem, they need to restart both core and backend

Apologies, i jumped the gun, the issue was with my config and the backend super token core instance i was connected too. This is not an issue. Re verified it works fine.
