**Description** I have been recently started using JWT token for some automation and faced an issue where the JWT token time, even after customization, expired within the default 90 min timeline. **Error** API key expired in 90 minutes when the expiration time was 180 minutes. **Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?** JWT App type **Additional Details** - After updating the expiration time, if I expand the collapsible **View JWT Token** , the Expire in time is selected as default 90 minutes. Thank you for help in advance and pardon the naivety in case if I am missing the basic nuance here. Regards Rajat ---

Hi @rajat_pandey, Welcome to the community! Are you generating the JWT token through the Zoom interface, or on your own secure server? Either way, please generate a new JWT with an expiry longer than 90 minutes and share a screenshot of the payload results from [https://jwt.io/](https://jwt.io/) - be sure to redact any secret information. Thanks, Alex ---

Thanks for the prompt response @alexmayo The payload details are as below: { “typ”: “JWT”, “alg”: “HS256” } { “aud”: null, “iss”: “VSX\_cvyxTg26063rnXX34w”, “exp”: 1619529533, - _Tue April 27 2021 18:48:53 GMT +5:30 IST_ “iat”: 1619524133 -_Tue April 27 2021 17:18:53 GMT +5:30 IST_ } The issue I see here is every time I regenerate the token the default expiration time is set to 90 minutes. Kindly let me know if these details are suffice. Regards Rajat ---

Hey @rajat_pandey, Are you generating your token from the Zoom UI? If so, can you please make sure that even after you select “Other” or a time period longer than 90 minutes, that you’re copying the token below **after**? The token will update dynamically _after_ you select the expiration time, and you need to copy it at that time. Once you navigate away, the token will default back to 90 minutes. Thanks, Will ---

Thanks @will.zoom I actually was getting confused with the immediate rollback to 90 minutes. Just checked that before leaving the screen, the generated token is valid for a week, as selected. Thanks for the quick help, just out of curiosity, is there a specific reason to reverting it back to the default immediately or a default feature. Regards Rajat ---

Hey @rajat_pandey, No problem, glad I could help clarify. The intention here is to have a default token with a short expiration, as a best practice. Thanks, Will ---
