Refresh token expires within 7 days - In Production

[testing]

Hey,

I put my external app from testing in production, but unverified.
We won't go through the verification process because we fall under this category:

If your app falls in anyone of the below category, it is not mandatory for your app to complete an OAuth verification. However, you may still complete a verification for your app if you want to.

• Personal Use apps: If the app is for your personal use (fewer than 100 users), you and your limited number of users can continue using the app without going through verification(users will be allowed to click through “unverified app” warning screens during sign-in). Such apps will need to complete a verification, if they want to grow their user base beyond 100.

  Despite being in production, the refresh token keeps expiring.
  How to prevent this? 
  Are there any steps necessary to confirm we fall under 'Personal Use apps'?
  
  Kind regards,
  Laurence

Hi Laurence,

Thank you for contacting the Google Ads API support team.

After reviewing your concern, I understand that your refresh token expires within 7 days. I would recommend you to check this Refresh token expiration documentation for more information on how the refresh token expires. 

If the publishing status is "In production" in OAuth consent screen of your Google API console, this means that you have already applied this Setting up your OAuth consent screen instruction to that account that makes the life of the refresh token longer. For further assistance, you may reach out to the Google API console support team via the API Console Help link.
