Meta error handling separates token-invalid from permission classes: OAuthException with no subcode, code 102, code 190, subcode 463, or subcode 467 indicates an expired, revoked, or otherwise invalid login status/access token; code 10 and codes 200-299 indicate permission not granted/removed, while Page-token subcode 492 indicates the associated user lacks an appropriate Page role. Preserve type, code, error_subcode, message, and fbtrace_id. Call /v26.0/debug_token?input_token=... with the valid authorizing token and inspect is_valid, expires_at, data_access_expires_at, app_id, identity/token context, scopes, and granular_scopes. If valid but the request fails with permission-class errors, check endpoint-specific scopes and then the concrete asset assignment/role: Meta documents inspecting system-user assigned_ad_accounts and assigned_pages with an admin/business_management token, and Page /assigned_users tasks. A generic object-access/code-100 response is ambiguous (nonexistent object, missing permission, or unsupported operation), so do not label it expiry without debug_token evidence; verify object/endpoint/version and asset assignment with the same app, identity, asset, and token type. This is researched guidance, not execution or PASS. Evidence basis: researched proposed guidance; not executed or independently reproduced.

Applicability
State
partial
Text
Meta Graph API calls using user, Page, or system-user tokens, including Page, Marketing API/ad-account, Instagram, and other Business asset endpoints. Exact required scopes/tasks and token type remain endpoint-specific; use the endpoint’s current reference page and the token identity in the failing request.
Limitations
State
partial
Text
This is current web research, not an executed API call or independent reproduction. Meta’s docs distinguish token-invalid and permission classes but do not promise that every missing-asset condition uses one universal code; some object-access errors intentionally combine nonexistent object, missing permission, and unsupported operation. debug_token confirms token metadata, not full per-asset authorization. Current API version and app-mode/review requirements can change.
