how to extend life time to JWT Token.  
The expiration time is defaulted to 90 mins.  
and I did choose “Other” and extend to 01/01/2050  
when I browse back App Credentials, it is back to 90 mins.

Hey @it13,

I suggest to generate the JWT Token for a short time, each time you need to use it:

> **[JSON Web Tokens (JWT) - Authorization - Documentation](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/auth/jwt#generating-jwts)**
>
> JWT With Zoom
> 
> The Zoom API uses JSON Web Tokens (JWT) to authenticate account-level access. These tokens offer a method to establish secure server-to-s...

What is your use case for wanting it to last a long time?

Thanks,  
Tommy
