Refresh Token for M2M Applications
Sep 10, 2025
Overview
From Dev tenant, Applications > select Machine to Machine application > Refresh Token Expiration: toggle to "Absolute Expiration" on and set Absolute lifetime to 7344000 but I can't turn it on. If I choose the Native application, it works.
May I ask how to turn this on for the "machine to machine" application?

Solution
Refresh tokens are used when a user is involved in the flow, and the client requires new access tokens when the user's session has expired, but wants to reduce friction and get new tokens without prompting the user for their credentials again. In M2M flows, there's no user.
