I like this use of absolute time rather than relative time.

When you see that a code expires "in 5 minutes" you have no way of knowing how long it has taken to get to your inbox.

@Edent I agree, but "today" still looks relative. What if you also visit example.com tomorrow at around the same time, and look at the wrong message in your inbox (or whatever you get this, this point is the same).
Put a completely absolute time in there (and tell the people that design these systems that email/<wahtever they use> is not instant.

@Edent if it's my inbox and it's the first email they've sent me, then it has definitely been at least 5 minutes :)

greylisting is a wonderful thing

@Edent Google has some kind of standard to allow limited-time promotions to show their expiration dates in Gmail. It would be useful for these as well.
