Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

useSession doesn't trigger a state change when a session expires. That's apparently intended behavior: https://discord.com/channels/1288403910284935179/1353810672458403920/1353820038154551469

However it's not obvious to someone getting started with better-auth

Describe the solution you'd like

Describe when useSession will and will not fire here: https://www.better-auth.com/docs/concepts/session-management#use-session

Describe alternatives you've considered

Even better would be to have the useSession hook have a timeout like in this version: 5424706d8c/src/hooks/session/use-session.ts (L45)

And then fire if the session expires

Additional context
