- JWT_DEFAULT_EXPIRES
The default expire value for the token. If you don't provide it. The token will don't have a default expire value and never expire if you give anything.
Eg: 60, "2 days", "10h", "7d". A numeric value is interpreted as a seconds count. If you use a string be sure you provide the time units (days, hours, etc), otherwise milliseconds unit is used by default ("120" is equal to "120ms").
