After some investigation, I discovered that when a user creates an account on my website using AWS Cognito, the verification code remains valid for 24 hours. Utilizing the AWS CDK to deploy my stacks in the AWS environment, I encountered a challenge within my main cdk.ts file where I defined the following variables:
const datetime: Date = new Date(new Date().getTime() + (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
export const date: string = datetime.toLocaleDateString();
export const time: string = datetime.toLocaleTimeString([], {hour: '2-digit', minute:'2-digit'});
Within my Cognito stack file, there is an HTML template that structures the email sent to users upon signup, indicating the duration of validity for the verification code. Although I successfully referenced these variables in the HTML template, I noticed that the date and time displayed were incorrect. This discrepancy arose from the fact that they reflected +24 hours from the stack deployment rather than +24 hours from the actual email dispatch date. How can I adjust this so that the expiration period is calculated based on the email creation date?
