I have seen some answers, but the questions are quite a number of years old, and the after trying their responses I've not been able to get it to work. I need to update user meta data during the logout process, specifically the automatic logout process that occurs when the user is idle for too long. I am using the code below but the user meta is not being updated.

add_action('clear_auth_cookie', 't_o_update');
function t_o_update() {
  $user = wp_get_current_user();
  update_user_meta($user-ID, 'online_status', 'offline');
}

can anyone help with this, can anyone explain how I can debug this? Does anyone have a solution. many thanks

For anyone who stumbles upon this, I have found a solution that works well for me. I wanted to be able to update user meta data during the logout process, whether it is user initiated or automatic through expiry of session data. So the solution:

function logMeOutOrSomething($expiration, $user_id) {
    update_user_meta($user_id, 'first_name', 'superMario');
    return $expiration;
}
add_filter('auth_cookie_expiration', 'logMeOutOrSomething', 10, 2)
