Question

How many Adobe Sign access tokens can be generated from a refresh token?

Hi Team,

 

We have a backend application which does some Adobe Sign operations(uploading transient document, creating a signedURL etc) using the Adobe Sign access token. The access token lives for an hour and hence we dynamically generate a new access token from an environmentally stored Adobe Sign refresh token when the access token expires. Since there can be multiples instances of the BE application load balancing the requests made to it, it would mean each instance can have different Adobe Sign access tokens at any point of time. 
So question is - 
How many multiple access tokens can be created from an Adobe Sign refresh token? Are there any restrictions as such?

Note: We do not revoke any access tokens and the refresh token expiry is extended by using a scheduler.

There are no limits on how many access tokens can be generated. Refresh token expiration should only be necessary if no new access tokens are being generated for more than 60 days since each time you "refresh" to get a new access token, you are re-setting the refresh token expiry to 60 days from that point in time.
