How JWT Expiration works?

hey there,

I am new to using JWT and I was wondering how the expiration works.

I looked into jwt in march 2022 and read the max time for expiry is 2 hours but when I am looking now it says the max expiration is 24 hours. I just wanted to know if something changed lately or it that been always the case. Thanks in advance!

hi @venukrishna.tumuluri

Do you mean an access token or an identity token? Each has different expiration settings. The ID token has a default of 10 hours, and the access token of 24 hours, but these can be changed (including to be longer).
