Token expire issue

[Sniperwolf881]

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

When I print the token after logging in, 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?

I run a script that makes sure the 8 hours (yes 8 hours now) hasn't expired / due to expire and then use the refresh token to generate a renewed token (I also execute the same code in the event Tesla expires the token early - as it is known to do)

But let's say I use the app, generate a new refresh token, and then close the app. After 10 hours I open up the app, I should still be signed in when doing as you say?

The access token will have expired, the refresh will be valid If you attempt to use the access token then you'll receive an expired response, just trigger your refresh script

Not sure how to setup this in Swift, but I'll give it a try. This is what I currently have in my AppDelegate:
(Using UserDefaults just for testing purpose)

if let tokenString = UserDefaults.standard.object(forKey: "token_mfa") as? String,
    let tokenMapped: AuthToken = tokenString.decodeJSON(),
    let _ = UserDefaults.standard.object(forKey: "token_mfa") as? String {
    api.reuse(token: tokenMapped, email: nil)
}

return true

What coding language are you using?

I use javascript
My entry point into my code is to see if the token has expired - is (creation date + expires in > now), if so refresh

Ok, I see.. Sad that the access token isn't valid for more then 8 hours. I have stored my access token in siri shortcuts, so I can tell siri to lock/unlock my car, but then I have to manually update it every 8 hours.

@IMgoRt I have a question: If a previous token is used, api.isAuthenticated will not be true, or?

Because now I can use the token from yesterday, and still be able to lock/unlock my car, even if api.isAuthenticated == false.

Sorry, I don't code in that language, but if the token is past expiration then it will not be accepted and you'll get unauthorised
