Get updated User object after updating email (Next.js)

[solarpathic]

I’m using the Management API to update a user’s email.

Once I update the user’s email, the user object from useUser() doesn’t update to the new email, even after refreshing the page.

I have to logout and login to get the updated user object.

I suspect it has to do with the user object from useUser() not keeping track of live updates, so the user object will forever be the same until the sessions end and begins again.

Is there a way to refresh the user object without logging out and logging back in?
