Queries Invalidated on Auth Token Refresh (Clerk)
Hey, I’m running into a problem with Convex query invalidation.
Whenever my auth token is refreshed (I’m using Clerk, which refreshes every ~50 seconds as described: https://clerk.com/docs/how-clerk-works/overview#token-refresh-mechanism, Convex seems to invalidate and re-run queries that depend on authentication and also a query that doesn't depend on authentication—even when no data has changed and no mutations have occurred.

I’ve gone through this GitHub issue: https://github.com/get-convex/convex-backend/issues/95 and this Discord thread Caching system failure., where auth token causing query invalidation was mentioned but in the rest of the conversation it didn’t really come up again.
