Hi,

I’m working with the Business Events Grail endpoint via OAuth Client Authentication. The returned expiration is set at 5 minutes… Do we have the ability to increase that time?

Thanks

Idk if this is the answer that you want but you can set the date of expiration token

API Tokens are different but thanks for the reply.

OAuth bearer token is the new Grail authentication method

Hi&nbsp;[@Nick-Montana](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/48870),

due to security reasons, the expiration is set to such a low value as 5 minutes and it is not possible to increase this.

This is where you see the 300 coming when you request a the token from the DT SSO Url. Whe about long is this token valid for in its life time?
