I use an api to generate a token and this token is later on used as header for fetching plans from another api. The problem that I am facing is that with my code, I am regenerating token before its expiration.
What I want to achieve is that if the token is not expired, I want to reuse it for fetching plans. How can I achieve this?

Just, add logic to validate the token? if it's valid, proceed, else regenerate a new token / reauthenticate

So, I have to implement this in page.tsx?

wherever you check your token

in middleware

I have used the middleware. Here's my codebase for middleware.tsx.

And here's the error that I am getting:

Error: invariant: cookies() expects to have requestasyncstorage, none available.

And yes, one more thing, the version that I am allowed to use is Next@13.5.1

you're exposing session tokens and API keys, consider setting those as environment values instead of hardcoding

the error is here?

did you import them

import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

Yes, I did import them.
