• The confirmation expiry doesn't seem to have a configurable time anywhere (constant at 24 hours according to all the documentation and stack overflow results I've read).
• There is an interesting workaround that someone proposed which is to create a lambda function that effectively deletes the token after a desired amount of time (eg. 15 minutes) so we could potentially get the desired functionality.

Ah okay - that workaround does sound like a decent approach. But perhaps we push this back into the ice box since it's not mvp-critical

Yah let's move this into the icebox for now. I'll change the verbiage of the confirmation email to say "Expires in 24 hrs" to reflect the reality of today.
