    Research direction

    Start by locating http.cookiejar.DefaultCookiePolicy in the Python standard-library source and inspect how expiry checks obtain their timestamp. Review python/cpython#15023 and the related issue history first; done means the policy checks expiry using the current timestamp and the relevant behavior is covered by tests identified while examining that area.
