async jwt({ token, account, profile }) {
            console.log(token, 'jwt token')
            return token
        },
{ iat: 1695673515,
  exp: 1698265515,
  jti: '003d6ee6-26be-4744-9692-a2563495e8d7'
}

so I believe that you're integrating this into the existing database, where you have some users already saved

@Cape horse mackerel No i have a backend already written and hosted i am making an api call to my backend and then getting a token from there
i am providing jwt secrets being used on that backend though
my intenion is to consume those api and that require authetication header being sent to api backend

there is an async authorize function within CredentialsProvider. So within that function you should make an API call and fetch the user data
