Cookie not persisting on client

I am testing better-auth with a frontend on http://localhost:5173 and a backend on hono + aws lambda. The request works but the cookie is not being persisted in the browser. On the client I have a pretty standard configuration 
export const { signIn, signOut, signUp, useSession, emailOtp } = createAuthClient({
  baseURL: import.meta.env.VITE_BETTER_AUTH_URL ?? '',
  plugins: [emailOTPClient()],
  fetchOptions: { credentials: 'include' }
});
export const { signIn, signOut, signUp, useSession, emailOtp } = createAuthClient({
  baseURL: import.meta.env.VITE_BETTER_AUTH_URL ?? '',
  plugins: [emailOTPClient()],
  fetchOptions: { credentials: 'include' }
});
and my server looks like 
export const auth = betterAuth({
  database: drizzleAdapter(db, { provider: 'pg', schema: { ...authSchema } }),
  emailAndPassword: {
    enabled: true,
  },
  // advanced: {
  //   cookies: {
  //     session_token: {
  //       attributes: {
  //         sameSite: 'none',
  //         path: '/',
  //         httpOnly: true,
  //         secure: true
  //       }
  //     }
  //   }
  // },
  trustedOrigins: ['http://localhost:5173'],
});
export const auth = betterAuth({
  database: drizzleAdapter(db, { provider: 'pg', schema: { ...authSchema } }),
  emailAndPassword: {
    enabled: true,
  },
  // advanced: {
  //   cookies: {
  //     session_token: {
  //       attributes: {
  //         sameSite: 'none',
  //         path: '/',
  //         httpOnly: true,
  //         secure: true
  //       }
  //     }
  //   }
  // },
  trustedOrigins: ['http://localhost:5173'],
});
Am I missing something? This is a react + vite SPA

I have the same problem but with Express.js. The problem only occurs in my mobile Chrome browser (without enabling incognito mode). If incognito mode is enabled or using a different browser, the cookie persists on client. I tried deleting all of the cookies and trying logging in but still in vain.
