WP REST API – Nonce passes wp_verify_nonce even after logout

The true reason of not using nonces for non logged in users, is that it adds a pointless burden on their usage as they need to refresh the page when the nonce expire, and the only way they will know that they need to do it is when something do not work.

There is probably no reason to avoid generating it, but if you expect that your “app” will be used/open for more then 12 hours (that is the “tick” time used to calculate wordpress nonces) then either you need to also have an automatic way to refresh the nonce (might be a good idea for logged in users as well) or avoid using it in the first place.
