@spec verify_token_fresh(Plug.Conn.t(), pos_integer()) :: Plug.Conn.t()

Verify that the token (either access or refresh) is fresh.

A token is fresh if it belongs to the current or previous "refresh token generation". A generation is a set of tokens that is created within a "cycle TTL" amount of seconds from when the generation is first created. A new generation is created after the cycle TTL expires.

So a token must be "fresh", but because of refresh race conditions caused by network issues or misbehaving clients, enforcing only a single fresh token causes too many problems in practice.

Must be used after load_session/2. Verify the token type with verify_token_claim_equals/2.

freshness-example

Freshness example

New cycle is created 5 seconds after the generation's first token is created, and token ttl is 24h (so irrelevant in this example).
