Power BI Embedded API Ignoring lifetimeInMinutes Parameter – Token Expiring After 1 Hour Regardless

Hi sbavana ,
Thank you Akash_Varuna  for the prompt response!

Thank you for sharing the details.

The lifetimeInMinutes parameter can shorten a token’s lifespan but may not extend it beyond the 1-hour maximum, which is enforced by the underlying Azure AD token. Even with 720 minutes specified, the token will expire after 60 minutes unless paired with a capacity-based setup (e.g., A SKUs or Premium) and custom refresh or Azure AD policy adjustments.

Please follow below as a workaround :
- Implement a token refresh mechanism in your app to generate a new token before expiry, ensuring seamless access.
- Consider Power BI Embedded (A SKUs) or Premium capacities (EM/P SKUs) for more flexibility and control over embedding sessions.

If this asnwer found helpful,consider accepting it as solution.
