The example used in the documentation below suggests 1 hour.

But then, Do I need a process in my app to refresh all tokens each hour and so on?

@betobaz In the last days I had the same problem with the refresh token. One way to do it is, catch the exception and if the status code equals 401, connect again to refresh the token and retry the task one more time.

@xorti Thanks, I didn't understand how works Sugar's Oauth. My problem was when my app made a request and I get the 401 exception. To prevent this behavior I did refresh the access token each time before to execute some method, so, I always overwrite the access token even though the access token was valid.

Now I execute the method, if I get the 401 exception I store the request, I refresh the access token and I make again the request. I understand that the refresh token has 14 days of validity and each refresh token, these 14 days will go extending.
