Google OAUTH2: The access_token is expired or invalid and can't be refreshed.

[rchrd2]

I have everything setup for refresh_tokens to work properly, but I have found that after a while they stop working, and then can be fixed by restarting my django application. When I restart my application running in gunicorn, the tokens start working again.

Any ideas on why this is? Does django-social-auth cache somehow? My current solution is to restart my django application with a cron ever 20 minutes, but I would like to find the root cause of the problem.

Here is a stack trace. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

oauth2==1.5.211
django-social-auth==0.7.25

The access_token is expired or invalid and can't be refreshed.

Update:

When I run socia.refresh_token() i get the following error:
