javascript - Firebase token.email_verified going weird

Question

Ok so im making a blog which requires users to login through firebase. To post comments, their email has to be verified

I know how to verify the email, and i did so with my test account. When i typed into the console

firebase.auth().currentUser.emailVerified

it returned true, so yes my email was verified.

But the comment .validate rule requires the user to be validated, like so:

auth.token.email_verified === true

However it wasn't working, so i removed it and it began to work again

After a bit of reading, I realized that i had to

const credentials = firebase.auth.EmailAuthProvider.credential(
  user.email, password);

user.reauthenticateWithCredential(credentials)
  .then(() => { /* ... */ });

And that makes it work perfectly. The explanation was it apparantly takes the firebase server some time to update its backend validation, but reauthenticating forces the update immediately.

However, I am stumped on how to ask the user to reauthenticate themselves, as i have the following problem

How do I know when the users is validated (firebase.auth().currentUser.emailValidated), and at the same time the firebase backend is not updated (auth.token.email_verified === true is false) so that i can update my UI and prompt the user to reauthenticate

Basically how can i know when auth.token.email_verified === true is not updated yet on the client side

edit also is there a client side solution without reauthentication that updates the backend validation?

edit I tried user.reload().then(() => window.location.replace('/')) but it didnt work
