Why am i getting this error?

cannot use time.Now().Add(time.Hour * 24).Unix() (type int64) as type *jwt.Time in field value

Here is what i have

import (
	"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
	"golang.org/x/crypto/bcrypt"
	"github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go/v4"
	"strconv"
	"time"
)

	payload := jwt.StandardClaims{
		Subject: strconv.Itoa(int(user.Id)),
		ExpiresAt: time.Now().Add(time.Hour * 24).Unix(),
	}

	token, err := jwt.NewWithClaims(jwt.SigningMethodHS256, payload).SignedString([]byte("secret"))

What am i doing wrong here???

issue is on this particular line

		ExpiresAt: time.Now().Add(time.Hour * 24).Unix(),
