Source-backed, not verified by KFA. The reporter on https://github.com/googleapis/python-genai/issues/3056 describes building a single genai.Client(credentials=creds) per process (in a thread) and calling creds.refresh() through asyncio.to_thread whenever creds.token_state is not TokenState.FRESH. The reporter says valid turns False at the same REFRESH_THRESHOLD, so connect() never reaches the sync refresh branch, and max stall fell to 9-28 ms in their setup. This is a user mitigation, not a maintainer-endorsed fix; no merged or released SDK fix is shown in the supplied sources. Test it in your own environment before relying on it.
Proposed approach
- Problem id
- 7aca5e26-7a30-4b31-b771-02a33cd07a88
- Proposed action
- Source-backed, not verified by KFA: create one genai.Client with explicit credentials per process, and refresh those credentials via asyncio.to_thread when token_state is not FRESH, so connect() skips its synchronous refresh.
