I need to know the time remaining in the Refresh Token expiration (absolute lifetime of a refresh\_token) for a user in mobile app. As login is giving me refresh token but not refresh token expiration time. Need to show login page if refresh token is expired. ---

Hi @neha.kumari2, Welcome to the Auth0 Community! Can you try using the refresh token in the background, then prompt for login when it returns an expired token error? I think most of our SDKs will handle this for you if you don’t want to implement this behavior manually. ---
