Hi Trish,

You asked the same question in another forum post, but your actual intention is still not very clear. What do timers have to do with tokens? What does the token expiration time have to do with when the timer runs?

Are you looking to verify if a token has expired by utilizing a timer that was set up at the same time the token was issued?

Tables are used to manage cycling jobs and their metadata. To check the validity of a token whether it expires after 24 hours or not, you can use timers. Create a timer that will start 24 hours after receiving the token, and when the timer fires, check the timestamp of the token. If the time that has passed since the token was issued is more than 24 hours, then it has expired. To implement this logic, you will need to use the programming language or tool you are working in to create and configure timers and implement token expiration checks.
