Token expires issue

[Sniperwolf881]

I just recently started using this library, and have faced some issues with the token after logging in.

Same as in the demo, I am storing the api.token.jsonString, and loading the value in AppDelegate by using reuse. When I print it, I get this:

{
  "expires_in" : 28800,
  "refresh_token" : "xxxxxxxx",
  "id_token" : "xxxxxxxx",
  "token_type" : "Bearer",
  "access_token" : "xxxxxxxx",
  "created_at" : 1664609888.676774
}

I changed to xxxxxxxx so the code get's smaller. But, in the expires_in it says 28800. If that is in seconds, that is equals to 8 hours. In my app I get logged out a few times a day. May that be the reason? And what can I do to stay logged in?

@jonasman Do you have a solution for this, sir? :-)

I think I have the same issue. I've even setup background tasks to run in my app hoping that it would keep logging in, but it's only running background once a day. It logged out over the course of 2 days.

Is this still valid?

There were some updates to the token code recently

[jonasman]

if not maybe we need to implement some token refresh

[akac]

When you say updates to the token code recently - can you point them out? I don't see any new releases to this library to see what that could be.

@akac https://github.com/jonasman/TeslaSwift/commit/f3da37fb7721ba05924b9a956f155219ab1bd274

I'll have to test that and see.

[jonasman]

if something is not working and you want to debug it, refreshWebToken is the function that should refresh the web token

[jonasman]

@akac and @Sniperwolf881 any news?

i looked into this, tesla seems to send a validity of 8h for the token, but from my testing the token is not valid this long, probably only 5mins. One way to fix is to force a 5mins token validity instead of using whatever Tesla sends
