Why use Auth Token Expiry Checker?
JWT exp, nbf, and iat claims are easy to misconfigure with clock skew or wrong units (seconds vs milliseconds). Paste a token to see human-readable times and whether it should be accepted right now according to standard rules.
Practical tips
- Rotate refresh tokens when access tokens are shorter than your UX session.
- Compare server UTC settings when mobile clients show mysterious logouts.
- Pair with JWT Decoder to inspect issuer and audience claims.
Common questions
- Does this call the issuer?
- No. It performs local time math on decoded claims.
- What about opaque tokens?
- They require introspection endpoints. This tool focuses on JWT-shaped tokens.
