Sharepoint connection credential expiring
Hi, WSD
Frequent expiration of credentials can be due to OAuth2 token settings. By default, access tokens have a limited lifetime for security reasons. Like Bendlin said, you can ask your IT department to extend the token lifetime or implement a refresh token to automatically renew the access token without manual intervention. You can refer to the following link:

This issue can also stem from a server-side security policy set by your organization. These policies may need to be reauthenticated periodically to ensure secure access to sensitive data. Consulting with your IT or SharePoint administrator can provide insight into whether these policies can be adjusted. Here is the link:Manage guest expiration for a site - Microsoft Support

Another approach is to use app-only credentials for SharePoint access. This method involves setting up an app with the necessary permissions in Azure AD and authenticating with its credentials. This can provide a more stable and long-lasting connection. You can check the following link:
