Resumption is a quick way to use an existing TLS session to establish another session by avoiding the long TLS full handshake process.  In TLS 1.2 and below, clients can repeatedly resume a session by using the session ID from an established connection.  In TLS 1.3, a one-time "resumption ticket" is sent by the server after the TLS connection has been established.  The server may send multiple resumption tickets to help clients that rapidly resume connections.  If the client does not have another resumption ticket, it must go through the full TLS handshake again.  The current implementation in JDK 23 and below, only sends and store one resumption ticket.

[RFC 8446](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8446) does not specify a default value.  A system property called `jdk.tls.server.newSessionTicketCount` allows the user to change the number of resumption tickets sent by the server.  If this property is not set or given an invalid value, the default value of 3 is used. Further details are in the CSR.

All the T13 log messages use the same format.  I agree it is different from the T12 log messages, but it helps distinguish the failures for different protocols.
Thought saying "session timed out" is probably better
