Authenticating with an access token Connect-MicrosoftTeams

Hi,

We were successfully using Microsoft Teams powershell using Access Tokens. But today we are faced with strange issue:

We are getting error during authentication: Connect-MicrosoftTeams
The provided tokens must have less than 180 seconds difference in the time range of expiration. System.Management.Automation.RemoteException: The provided tokens must have less than 180 seconds difference in the time range of expiration.

We have checked the access tokens expiry, they do differ by more then 180 seconds. We are using Refresh tokens to generate Access tokens. This is done automatically using .NET code, both access tokens are fetched within few milliseconds, yet the expiry differs. And when we use these tokens we get above error.

Has anyone experienced this?

Regards,

Muhammad Usman

  Same problem here since a couple of days now...
  
  Both Graph and Teams access tokens started obtaining random expiry values instead of previously static 3599 seconds.
  
  As a quick fix, can Microsoft at least disable the tokens expiry difference verification to restore access?
  
  Thanks.

  Hi @Sridevi-MSFT,
  
  I've also started experiencing this issue today. Was working fine before, but now I get the error: " The provided tokens must have less than 180 seconds difference in the time range of expiration."
  
  Using Teams PowerShell Module 2.3.2 with a graph token and a Teams token that are created at the same time, but the expiration time can be as great as 20min.

  usman83 Muhammad, we stating to have this same error just today:
  
  "The provided tokens must have less than 180 seconds difference in the time range of expiration."
  
  I've compared these 2 tokens expiration time and there are almost 7 minutes of difference between them. We ask Microsoft to generate the tokens one right after the other.
  If you get a solution, please share it here.
  
  Thanks
