Hey @Mohamed-Abubucker, sorry for the delayed response. Have you already solved this problem or still looking for a solution? If you've already solved the problem, please feel free to make a PR for this, otherwise, I will take a look soon. Its been quite crazy with the pandemic and remote working etc. Cheers.

Hi @explorer14 ,

hope you are doing well.

Still i am looking for the solution. i think this slidingExpiration property can help us. but i don't know how to use it in our implementation as we are using cookie based JWT authentication.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.aspnetcore.authentication.cookies.cookieauthenticationoptions.slidingexpiration?view=aspnetcore-3.1

kindly look into it, i very much apprecitate your efforts in this implementation.
