Refresh Token expired
Hello,
We are issuing and using refresh tokens in our service according to the reference documentation below :
Solved: Oauth2 refresh token question - what happens when ... - Dropbox Community (dropboxforum.com)
We understand that the refresh token should not expire, but it seems to expire after some time.
AuthError('a68526c2f28846df81b4e4290cc0567f', AuthError('expired_access_token', None))
AuthError('731de6b9ff3b4d828e2c538493dbc3fb', AuthError('expired_access_token', None))

AuthError('57ac76c52e71491594bac208f8e239ca', AuthError('expired_access_token', None))
We would like to verify if we are issuing the tokens correctly.
Thank you.
Hm.. 🤔 As seems, somebody needs new glasses. As far as I can see, messages are about expired access token, not about expired refresh token. 🤷 Who knows... bszt123 can you take a look again? You likely don't need glasses (not new at least). 😉
Good luck.

bszt123 Здравко is correct; this error is referring to the access token being expired, not the refresh token. When you get this 'expired_access_token' error, you should use the refresh token to get a new access token. If you're using a Dropbox SDK, the SDK will do this for you automatically, as long as you supplied the necessary credentials (e.g., app key, app secret (if not using PKCE), and refresh token).
