Can an Anonymous use their anonymous account multiple times even after they close the app?

And also, when i use the signin anonymous api, an anonymous user gets successfully created in the DB but its doesnt log in the current unlogged session (user) to that user, meaning a new anonymous user gets created everytime this component renders without ever logging in to that user, And also, should i rely on the Anonymous user api if i wanna make a user have a seemless user experience without ever needing to log in? 
const UserButton = async () => {
  const session = await auth.api.getSession({
    headers: await headers()
  });

  if (!session?.user) {
    const user = await authClient.signIn.anonymous();
  }

  return (
    <Link href={"/account"}>
      <div className="flex items-center gap-2">
        <div className="">
          <p className="text-xs">{session.user.name}</p>
        </div>
        <Avatar className="size-6">
          <AvatarImage src={session.user.image ?? ""} alt={session.user.name} />
          <AvatarFallback>{session.user.name[0]}</AvatarFallback>
        </Avatar>
      </div>
    </Link>
  );
};

export default UserButton;
const UserButton = async () => {
  const session = await auth.api.getSession({
    headers: await headers()
  });

  if (!session?.user) {
    const user = await authClient.signIn.anonymous();
  }

  return (
    <Link href={"/account"}>
      <div className="flex items-center gap-2">
        <div className="">
          <p className="text-xs">{session.user.name}</p>
        </div>
        <Avatar className="size-6">
          <AvatarImage src={session.user.image ?? ""} alt={session.user.name} />
          <AvatarFallback>{session.user.name[0]}</AvatarFallback>
        </Avatar>
      </div>
    </Link>
  );
};

export default UserButton;

this is cause you're calling authClient on a server. It cant set a cookie on the user browser, if you try to a log a user in from a server component.
