This code workds for me. Only second block changes cookie expiration

services.AddAuthentication(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
        .AddCookie(options =>
        {
            // Cookie settings
            options.Cookie.HttpOnly = true;
            options.Cookie.SameSite = SameSiteMode.Strict;
            options.Cookie.SecurePolicy = CookieSecurePolicy.Always;
            options.LoginPath = "/Account/Login";
            options.LogoutPath = "/Account/Logout";
            options.AccessDeniedPath = "/Account/AccessDenied";
        });

        services.ConfigureApplicationCookie(options =>
        {
            // Cookie settings, only this changes expiration
            options.Cookie.HttpOnly = true;
            options.Cookie.Expiration = TimeSpan.FromDays(150);
            options.ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromDays(150);
        });
