How to check if the lock has expired?

[mbartn]

const redlock = new Redlock([ioClient], {
    retryCount: -1,
});


const LOCK_TTL = 1_000; 

const lock = await redlock.acquire(["someKey"], LOCK_TTL)

await new Promise(f => setTimeout(f, 5_000));

await lock.release();

// It never reaches here if the lock has expired

doSomethingElse()

If the lock expires, the code is stuck on release() function.

• Is this behavior expected? I suspect it retries release() forever based onretryCount, but can I have different retryCount for acquiring and releasing?
• How do I check if the lock has expired, so I can skip the release() call?
