Getting 401 on requests after 2 hours

[yosh-se]

Describe the bug:
It seems like I'm unable to save anything 2 hours after I've logged in on my threat-dragon, through Gitlab.

Expected behaviour:
I should be able to work until I logout.

Environment:
Self-hosted 2.4.1 in kubernetes.

To Reproduce:
Login with Gitlab, open model, wait for two hours, try to save.

Any additional context, screenshots, etc:
I believe that Gitlab had tokens that lasted forever before, but has transitioned to a TTL of 2 hours.
I don't seem to be able to find any code related to renewing provider tokens, maybe that isn't supported (yet)?

Thanks for the bug report @yosh-se , and it is a difficult problem
can you try refreshing to GitLab using a another tab, and see if that now works?
Either way, this is something to put in the documentation for sure

I've been fiddling around with it a bit. I think I just wanted to verify that this was the case.
I did try to refresh the login in a new tab, but I've had mixed results.

Thanks for the prompt response :)

Possible Solutions for GitLab Token Expiry Issue
1️⃣ Implement Token Renewal – Add logic to refresh GitLab tokens before expiration.
2️⃣ Increase Token TTL – Check GitLab OAuth settings to extend the token lifespan.
3️⃣ Handle Expired Tokens Gracefully – Detect expiration and prompt users to re-authenticate.
4️⃣ Enable Session Persistence – Store and reuse valid tokens without forcing re-login.
5️⃣ Check Kubernetes Logs – Identify if authentication failures are due to token expiration.**
