Plugin session claim expired

Error message

Plugin session claim expired

What it means

Raised by verify_plugin_session_claim when Fernet decryption fails the TTL check: the plugin session claim was issued with _CLAIM_TTL_SECONDS lifetime and that window has elapsed, so the token must be re-fetched.
