Auto refreshing firebase authentication without a window reload?

I'm trying to work out why my JWT keeps expiring and the refresh doesn't appear to work, the crux of my code handling this:

React.useEffect(() => {
    firebase.auth().onAuthStateChanged(async (auth) => {
        if (auth) {
            const token = await auth.getIdToken();
            setToken(token)
            nookies.destroy({}, "token");
            nookies.set({}, "token", token, {
                path: "/"
            });

            setAuth(auth);

            const val = jwt_decode(token) as any;
            const exp = Number(val.exp);

            let timeToExpiry = moment(exp * 1000 - 1000 * 5).diff(moment());
            const updateToken = () => {
                setTimeout(async () => {
                    console.log("REFRESHING TOKEN");
                    await firebase.auth().currentUser.getIdToken(true).then(c => {
                        setToken(c);
                        const val = jwt_decode(c) as any;
                        const exp = Number(val.exp);
                        timeToExpiry = moment(exp * 1000 - 1000 * 5).diff(moment());
                        //alert("refreshing "  + timeToExpiry);
                        //console.log(timeToExpiry + " DONE REFRESHING TOKEN");
                        updateToken();
                    });
                }, timeToExpiry)
            }
            updateToken();
        }
        else {
            setToken("");
            nookies.destroy({}, "token");
            setAuth(null);

            var provider = new firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider();
            provider.setCustomParameters({
                prompt: 'select_account'
            });

            firebase.auth().signInWithRedirect(provider);
        }
    })
}, [])

The timeout works and it calls the getIdToken() before expiry HOWEVER the very next request still errors out with JWT token expired requiring me to refresh the window which actually fixes it.

Is there any way to get these tokens to refresh without doing refreshing the window?
