Access token and refresh token are not being refreshed

Suspected Bug
1

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I have developed a service that operates multiple rclone config files. Upon receiving a request, rclone runs check command with box remote. It works fine for one hour, but then access token expires and refresh token does not refresh access token.

I thought running any Rclone command will refresh a token in the given config file.
Is this expected behaviour?

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.52.2

  • os/arch: linux/amd64
  • go version: go1.14.4

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

Alpine linux latest

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Box

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

Rclone check

A log from the command with the -vv flag (eg output from rclone -vv copy /tmp remote:tmp)

hello and welcome to the forum,

cannot call this a bug yet as there are no errors in the log you posted.

can you post a debug log with the error messages?

It should do but...

Box only lets you use each given refresh token once, so you need to make sure every rclone config file has been created individually.

See: Box

After an hour of running the mentioned command, I receive the following logs:

I am using separate configs, but from time to time rclone fails to update token in a config. I did not receive any error messages or whatsoever. I randomly get invalid refresh token.
It's hard to capture this issue, because it randomly occurs.

I have found a workaround btw. For the same box app I have created a JWT token. Using --box-box-config-file flag I provide this json file and tokens seem to update correctly

That is the problem I was describing above.

Are you running two rclone's simultaneously? The first might refresh its token and invalidate the refresh token in the config file for the second.

Nice one!
