Author. I wouldn't recommend to do less than 2-5 minutes. Some OpenID Connect providers actually ignore token expiry time silently when it's below a couple minutes.
Consider that host clocks are not always in sync (even NTP could leave 10 seconds of difference) and the many authentication redirections can take quite a bit of time for slow clients. Limiting tokens to 30 or even 60 seconds is asking for troubles.
But then again, I have to work with thousands of hosts, applications and datacenters, so I feel every edge cases. A single application on a single host would not.
