Some additional details might be able to help further investigation! What are you using to set the cookie?

I believe expires takes a timestamp

Also, I think the expired cookie stays in the list until it is accessed again and at that point it is recognized as expired and cleaned up

I'm setting a cookie in route.ts

import { cookies } from "next/headers";
import { NextResponse, type NextRequest } from "next/server";

export const POST = async (req: NextRequest) => {

  const {name,value,httpOnly,secure,expires,maxAge} = await req.json()

    cookies().set(name,value,{httpOnly,secure,maxAge});
    return NextResponse.json({message:"cookie successfully set."},{status:200})
};

and then making a post request from client to set cookie

 useEffect(()=>{
    const setCookie = async()=>{
      const cookie = await fetch(`/api/cookies/set-cookie`,{
        method: "POST",   
        headers: {
          "Content-Type": "application/json",
        }, 
           body: JSON.stringify({httpOnly:false,secure:false,name:"testing-cookie",value:"value",maxAge:10}), 
      });
    }
    setCookie()
  },[])

I have 2 questions why when I'm setting expires:1000*5 or something so its not getting expired at that time

second is what is the unit of maxAge??

is it miliseconds same as expires or something else

https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies#cookiessetname-value--expires-timestamp-

I haven't looked at your code, but have you tried this?

Yep

already tried

I just want to know how can we delete a cookie n minutes after setting it

It has to be very easy, I know I'm doing something terribly wrong

isn't max-age time in seconds? and not in ms?

so you're setting it for 1000*30 minutes instead of 30 minutes, possibly.

and expires is a UTC timestamp, not a number, afaik

expires is supposed to be a timestamp

Tried new Date(Date.now()+1000*60*30) also

Idk is it?

Check the docs on how it’s done

That's how they show it's done

Umm, I'll reproduce in my own environment and let you know by tomorrow

👍

I've confirmed

Ok let me try it

I was confused about the unit of maxAge thanks for confirming its in seconfs
