Do tokens expire when a user authorizes an app multiple times on one Webflow site? If so, should I always use the newest token?

When a user authorizes an app multiple times on one Webflow site, the previously issued tokens do not expire automatically. Each authorization will generate a new access token, and all the tokens remain valid until manually revoked.

However, it is generally recommended to use the newest token for better security and to avoid potential issues with outdated tokens. By using the most recent token, you ensure that you have the latest permissions and access to the user's resources.

Using the newest token also helps minimize any disruptions or inconsistencies that can arise from using an expired or outdated token. It gives you access to any changes or updates made by the user on their Webflow site since the last authorization.

To summarize, tokens do not typically expire when a user authorizes an app multiple times on one Webflow site. However, it is advisable to use the newest token to ensure the highest level of security and functionality.
