User Token expire time issue

• I saw on the forum that my access_token can last about 4 hours. But is there a way to avoid sending an api request every 4 hours ? I need the token to be valid everytime the command is called.
Is there a good way to do that i’m missing ?

Use Cron/Automation to auto regenerate the token

Or regenerate the token when you needed it.

• When i send my api request to generate a new access_token, it returns an object with the “expires_in” field.
I thought the number value was the time in second until the token expires. But for example in my last request, the number returned was 14353 which is ~239 hours instead of the 4 hours. Why the value is not matching and is there a way to know exactly what this value means ?

What API request did you make?

This sounds like you made a call to generate a Client Credentials token and not a call to refresh your token.
