Problem
Customer reported JWT refresh timer not being cleared when app goes to background after null JWT token is returned, potentially causing hanging timers and unnecessary retry attempts.
Root Cause
Race condition between:
scheduleAuthTokenRefresh()
(executor thread) - schedules retry timer when JWT returns nullclearRefreshTimer()
(activity lifecycle thread) - clears timer on app backgroundIf app backgrounds immediately after null JWT response, timer creation and clearing could race, leaving uncanceled timers.
Solution
scheduleAuthTokenRefresh()
andclearRefreshTimer()
