I have API requests that I want to cache using { revalidate: 3600 }, but once that time period expires, the data should be refreshed immediately. Returning a stale response while revalidating isn’t ideal because the cached data may be outdated. How can I configure Next.js to automatically revalidate expired cache entries before returning them?
