I’d like to change the access_token expiry to a value other than 24 hours. I’m using an SPA to access the auth0 client. There’s a “JWT Expiration (seconds)” setting in my Auth0 client which sets the id_token timeout, but I don’t see anything to set the access_token expiry. How would I go about ch…

You can set the access_token expiry via the Dashboard in the APIs section, and then the Auth0 Management API settings.

Thanks—I gave this a try and it seems like there’s a hard limit which auth0 does not allow to be configured: [image] What's the limit for API Token Expiration For Browser Flows (Seconds)? Help When modifying the Token Expiration For Browser Flows (Seconds) setting for an …

I was able to adjust in the Dashboard for my test tenant: [image]

Unfortunately no such luck for me: [token_lifetime_for_web]

Are you able to adjust your Token Expiration For Browser Flows (Seconds) setting?

Sorry, I see that I can adjust Token Expiration individually, but not Token Expiration for Browser Flows.

So my apologies - the section we are both looking at is the Auth0 Management API which is a system API and is not meant to be consumed in browser-based flows. You need to create a custom API which will then allow you to update that setting.

I think this is a “custom API”, at least judging by the label on the list of APIs: [custop_api]

Ok - so currently you are unable to adjust that setting as that one has a maximum value of 86400 or the value of the other setting (if that setting is less than 86400).

Sorry for the confusion—to summarize, I can set Token Expiration (Seconds) but not Token Expiration For Browser Flows (seconds): [token_expiration_for_browser_flows]
