[Solved] Cookie expiration date is in 6 months instead of 1 year

When I login to my app with createEmailPasswordSession the cookie has only 6 months of expiration but I have 1 year in Auth settings. I have console-logged the session that is returned from createEmailPasswordSession and itsexpire property shows 2026-09-11T06:20:29.919+00:00, which should be the correct session expiration time. Why is the cookie having a wrong expiration?

Dear Appwrite support, is this a normal behavior or a bug?

i can't seem to reproduce 🧐

I'm on self hosted. I see you test on cloud. Could this be the problem?

What is your Appwrite version?

1.7.4

Can I expect an update from the support team on this issue? Thank you!

@Steven, my apologies, but did you try with self-hosted?

Turns out it is a Brave specific behavior - https://community.brave.app/t/cookie-max-age-too-short/466612 and https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Deviations-from-Chromium-(features-we-disable-or-remove)#modified-features-and-functionality
