The behavior you're experiencing is due to the asynchronous nature of the sign-out process. By default, calling authClient.signOut() won’t automatically trigger a page redirect—you need to explicitly instruct it to redirect after the sign-out is completed. For example, you can pass a fetchOptions object with an onSuccess handler that performs the redirect: 
await authClient.signOut({
  fetchOptions: {
    onSuccess: () => {
      router.push("/login");
    },
  },
});
await authClient.signOut({
  fetchOptions: {
    onSuccess: () => {
      router.push("/login");
    },
  },
});
This ensures that the redirect happens only after the sign-out process finishes, which might not feel "immediate" if the network call or session cleanup takes a moment [1][10]. Sources: [1] Basic Usage | Better Auth [10] Redirect after SignOut
