I’m noticing that the expiration time (`exp`) provided by [ZoomAppContext](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/zoom-apps/zoomappcontext/) is not updated when an App is refreshed…either by clicking “Refresh App” or when the App View is called during rendering (e.g `runRenderingContext`).

Presumably the expiration time should be used to help validate the request. However if the time is not updated on subsequent valid requests then it becomes completely useless.

@vandalayindustries When the page is reloaded a new context is generated which should have a new exp value. Are you seeing that the timestamp and expiration are remaining the same?

Hey @MaxM , yeah exactly, I was seeing the same timestamps with the x-zoom-app-context was decoded…as if the request was cached or something.

I just checked now and it seems to have been fixed (or at least isn’t happening at this moment). I guess I will mark this as solved and re-open if it happens again.

Thanks!
