Using Claude Code to Automatically Refresh OpenClaw OAuth Tokens
A developer on r/ClaudeAI has shared a practical solution for preventing OpenClaw OAuth token expiration during extended coding sessions. The method uses Claude Code to automatically refresh tokens, addressing a common pain point when running bots for long periods.
How It Works
The developer created a system where Claude Code automatically rotates OpenClaw OAuth tokens every 8 hours. This prevents tokens from expiring in the middle of the night during long coding sprints, which was previously causing bot interruptions.
Implementation Details
- Frequency: Tokens are rotated every 8 hours
- Results: The developer reports 9 bots have been running continuously for a week without token expiration
- Requirements: Your computer must always be on, and a Claude Code session must remain active
- Resources: A video explanation is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP5zaazJ3KU with the prompt included
This approach is particularly useful for developers running automated coding bots that need to maintain continuous API access without manual intervention for token management.
