Hi @AmineMekki1,

Hello and thanks for your question. Maybe some example code might help? JWTs have a timeout, so if you’re saving the token before your loop then you might see this happen, for example if you have

```javascript
let token => AP.context.getToken(token)

```

and then have a loop where you call with fetch() and

```auto
                        headers: {
                            'Authorization': 'JWT ' + token
                        }

```

then yes, the JWT will timeout.

You’ll need to refresh the token.

Regards,  
James.

Hi @AmineMekki1,

Just move the token request into the loop, and request a new one when it fails, or keep a timer associated with it and request a new one when the time is exceeded.

Maybe if you post some example code we can check your design.

Regards,  
James.
