The token expires every 7~10 days #163

Closed icarus323 closed 8 months ago

I followed the instructions below, but I have to regenerate the token almost every week because it expires. Are there any changes I should be aware of? image

The token should be refreshed automatically in the latest version. Could you please update and retry?

I ran into this recently, but waiting another 10 days to see if it works. But I created the credentials as followed by the ReadMe and created the token by following the steps. After it was generated, I saw that we had to publish our app in order to prevent our tokens from expiring every 7-10 days, so I published it but that was after the token generation.

I got my first token on July 12th, and then it ended up expiring on July 21st. I pulled the latest code on July 21st and generated a new token so hoping that the token doesn't expire by July 31st. Will give an update on whether the token expires or not by then!

@martian0718 you can check the MagicMirror logs to verify the activity. For example, I run MagicMirror with pm2. Here is the logs to show the token has renew:

I was late to check your reply. I've been manually refreshing tokens for a few weeks, and now they're updating normally, even though I haven't done anything else. I'm nervous because I don't know why, but I'm just happy for now.
