   > Hi @zhangxingdeppon, just to make sure, do you need the Token generated by Apache APISIX will automatically expand its Expiration time?
   > 
   > According to https://jwt.io/, JSON Web Token is stateless and needs to be generated once it's expired. AFAIK, you may need to implement your logic with `access_token` & `refresh_token` to issue a new Token, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53946250/how-to-extend-the-expire-time-in-a-normal-access-token

   IMO, we **shouldn't change** the expiration time without permission[1][2], it defeats the **purpose** of the Token and makes it less reliable. It is best to refresh the token before it has expired.
