 Happens when an admin page containing a form is left open for more than 24
 hours and the user decides to submit the form. This is quite rare for most
 admin pages as the users typically spend short time there. However this
 can happen on the Edit Post screen too despite that we refresh the basic
 nonces every `wp_nonce_tick` (12 hours):

 - The user starts new post.
 - At some point the Internet connection is lost.
 - The user decides to finish later and puts the computer to sleep (closes
 the laptop, etc.).
 - The user decides to continue writing more than 24 hours after that.

 At this point all nonces have expired and cannot be updated as we've
 missed the previous nonce_tick update.
