Description

When there are multiple olm sessions with the same device, the client should use the session that it most recently received a message on (unless it is specifically starting a new session), and should expire old sessions.

See the bottom of https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.4.0.html#m-olm-v1-curve25519-aes-sha2
