So I've heard a lot about Rails 5.2 and ActiveStorage, and there was a lot of talk about ActiveStorage being a drop in replacement for image handling in rails.
My issue is, I've set it up and upgraded my app. I upload an image, it goes to my Google Cloud storage bucket, and that's all fine.
The issue is, In my view I've tried stuff like:
<%= image_tag((current_user.avatar), size: "100x100") %>
and
<%= image_tag(rails_blob_path(current_user.avatar, disposition: "attachment"), size: "100x100") %>
These will show the uploaded image for about 5 minutes, then the vanish from my view. If I inspect, it says error 400. How can I solve this? I want my users avatars to be showing up permanently, not going away.
Please suggest, been searching and reading for hours about how to solve this.
edit: doing "open image in new tab" results in this XML error

The default expiry of image urls is 5 minutes (https://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_storage_overview.html#linking-to-files)
You can probably set a new key url_expires_in in your active storage config for google cloud services
