AppwriteException: general_argument_invalid, Invalid secret param: Value must be a valid string and at least 1 chars and no longer than 256 chars (400)

the error makes sense (the secret token is too long), but i'm getting the session secret directly from an appwrite function from the same instance.

TL;DR
Error message: Invalid `secret` parameter due to the length being longer than allowed User is getting the session secret directly from an Appwrite function from the same instance The secret obtained from the function is a JWT with the UserID and the Secret User is questioning why the error is happening despite the origin of the secret User solved the issue by identifying that the secret token obtained was too long

okay i figured out what it is (by looking at the start of the secret) - but it still doesn't answer my question WHY - if i do Users#createSession from a function the secret is a JWT with the UserID and the Secret
