Rune pro tipsPro Tips

  • Tokens showing 'Expiring Soon' (90%+ elapsed) should be refreshed before making API calls.
  • If your token has no 'exp' claim, it never expires, which can be a security risk in production.
  • The lifespan progress bar helps you understand your token refresh strategy timing.
  • Bookmark this tool for quick token debugging during API development and testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? Here are the answers about JWT Expiry Checker

How does the live countdown work?

The countdown updates every second by comparing the current time to the token's exp (expiration) claim. It shows days, hours, minutes, and seconds remaining.

What does 'Expiring Soon' mean?

A token is flagged as 'Expiring Soon' when more than 90% of its total lifespan has elapsed. This is a warning to refresh the token before it expires.

Can I check tokens without an exp claim?

Yes. The tool will show a no-expiration status and display other available claims. In production, tokens without exp can be risky because they do not define an automatic expiry time.

Does the JWT expiry checker verify the token signature?

No. This tool decodes the token claims and checks time fields such as exp, iat, and nbf. It does not prove that the JWT signature is valid or trusted by your server.

What is the lifespan progress bar?

It shows what percentage of the token's life has elapsed, calculated from iat (issued at) to exp (expiration). Green means fresh, yellow means aging, red means almost expired.

Why does my token show as expired?

The current time has passed the exp (expiration) timestamp in the token. You'll need a new token from your authentication server.

Is it safe to paste production JWTs?

The checker runs in your browser for this operation, but production JWTs may contain sensitive claims. Prefer using short-lived test tokens or remove secrets before sharing screenshots.

Can I use this for debugging authentication issues?

Yes. This tool is ideal for debugging 401 errors caused by expired tokens, checking token refresh timing, and verifying token lifespans.
