Thank you, @balazsorban44, for addressing this issue. I previously had to resort to some unconventional workarounds. For those interested in integrating this fix, please refer to the updated documentation at: https://next-auth.js.org/getting-started/client#updating-the-session.

Is there an issue tracking this or a PR in progress?

It is possible to update the session from the server using getServerSession?

I'm currently doing it calling again "getServerSession" with new params, but it would be nice to have a better "official" support.

Would it be possible to create something like getSession(), but updateSession() that doesn't need to be imported from a hook and can be imported to update sessions?

It would be helpful to implement things like fetch interceptors for refresh token rotations.
