I’m working on a Telegram bot that uses aiogram3 along with the PyDrive library for automatic authentication. Although everything starts off correctly, the bot only functions for a couple of hours before suddenly ceasing to operate. I suspect this may be related to an issue with token revalidation, but I haven’t been able to pinpoint the problem. I’ve carefully reviewed the documentation and performed extensive searches, yet no clear solution has emerged.
Based on similar issues I’ve encountered, it seems the crux of the problem lies in the expiration of the authentication token with PyDrive and its automatic renewal process. I recommend verifying the token’s valid duration to ensure that the bot’s token refresh mechanism is robust enough to handle extended sessions. Additionally, double-check how the authentication flow is implemented to catch potential lapses during refresh intervals. Applying logging around your token operations might also give insight into unexpected behavior as the token expires.
i had similiar issues. try setting a preemptive refresh so you get a buffer before token expires. also, put in more robust logging to catch failuers when they occur. hope it helps!
I encountered a similar problem while developing a bot that required long-lasting sessions. After extensive debugging, I discovered that the default automatic token refresh in PyDrive wasn’t as dependable as it appeared. My experience taught me that the refresh mechanism can sometimes lag behind, causing the token to expire before a new one is fully in place. In my solution, I implemented a proactive token renewal process that ran just before the expiry period. Additionally, enhancing logging provided me with precise timestamps, which was crucial in pinpointing the delay in token revalidation.
