Automating OAuth Token Refresh for Bots Using Claude Code
A Reddit user has shared a solution for eliminating OAuth token expiration issues in automated bots. The user reports running nine bots continuously for over a week without receiving the "Your OAuth token has expired" notification.
How It Works
The solution involves creating a prompt to configure Claude Code to automatically refresh OAuth tokens on a scheduled basis. According to the source, the refresh occurs every 8 hours, which prevents tokens from expiring and keeps bots running without interruption.
The user specifically mentions that this approach eliminates the problem of assigning bots to work overnight only to find they've stopped and are waiting for manual token refresh in the morning.
Implementation Details
The source provides a video demonstration and a link to the prompt used for configuration. The video URL is: https://youtu.be/sP5zaazJ3KU?si=kGJpfid1AdYoYXVV
This approach is particularly useful for developers running automated bots or services that rely on OAuth authentication and need to maintain continuous operation without manual token management.

Haiku 4.5 handled straightforward parts but missed middleware ordering, Sonnet 4.6 caught the ordering issue and added TypeScript types, while Opus 4.6 identified a security flaw in auth middleware.
