Token expiry issues refreshing a semantic model

[StephenF]

I'm getting  a"DM_GWPipeline_Gateway_MashupDataAccessError" refreshing a semantic model connected to a local dataflow.

Seems like some sort of token expiry issue. Every time I have to build a new connector?

Is there anyway of making this go away or appear less often. The connection is OAuth 2.0. In the gateway settings the refresh thing is even green but fails and i have to remake a new connection every few months.

If i relogin to the oauth on the gateway, it works again. Is there a way to automate this?

In the gateway clicking the refresh button and getting a green symbol testing the connection does not help.

Hi @StephenF ,

When a client acquires an access token to access a protected resource, the client also receives a refresh token. The refresh token is used to obtain new access and refresh token pairs when the current access token expires.You can't configure the lifetime of a refresh token. You can't reduce or lengthen their lifetime.Perhaps you can configure a scheduled refresh, where a refresh within the refresh token's validity period will acquire a new refresh token.
