Recommended action: Persist and rotate both tokens on every refresh (store the new refresh token), refresh proactively before expires_in, and fall back to a new device/web flow on bad_refresh_token. Option: Rotate tokens atomically [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: See trigger Steps: 1. POST /login/oauth/access_token grant_type=refresh_token 2. store the returned access_token AND refresh_token 3. schedule the next refresh before expires_in Expected: Error no longer occurs Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
