Expired tokens still work on tile requests for a secured cached map service for about 10 minutes of its generation.

Additional Information

This is the expected behavior. The token is expiring correctly after the specified time-out value. The reason it is still usable for up to 10 minutes is that ArcGIS Server caches tokens specifically for cached map service tile requests to improve performance. Accessing a cached map service does not consist of one request but a series of requests to retrieve the individual tiles that make up the cached map service. For a secured cached map service, each tile request must include the token. There would be a noticeable performance impact if ArcGIS Server validated the token for every tile request needed to view a cached map service. For this reason, the token is cached for 10 minutes. If the token happens to be cached just before it expires, it will continue to be used when accessing the cached map service tiles during that 10-minute window.
