Max-age has to do with user re-auth in connect.

Some AS only give refresh tokens if a scope of offline_acess or some such special scope is requested.
There is no standard scope for that.

I don’t know of any way for the client to control the lifetime of the access token other than by revoking it with the AS.
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7009 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7009>

Depending on the AS you should be able to control the AT lifetime on a per client basis.

As for token access times, I believe only extensions to OAuth define those types of capabilities.  i.e. OpenID Connect defines a "max-age" claim that you can pass when requesting a token.
