I wrote a little python app which will stop and create broadcast via the Youtube API at defined times.

It works all fine but the token created at the first start or when a token does not exists when the app is started gets expired after a few days.

A refresh token is included but after a few days it fails to refresh the token.

I would like to only have to login once and just allow a refresh of the token.

Here is my login function

SCOPES = [";]

    def _authenticate(self, create_new_token: bool = False):
        try:
            credentials = None
            dirname = os.path.dirname(__file__)
            token_filename = os.path.join(dirname, self.TOKEN_FILE)
            if os.path.exists(token_filename):  # do we have a token file already?
                credentials = Credentials.from_authorized_user_file(
                    token_filename, self.SCOPES
                )

            if create_new_token:
                credentials = None  # will force to have to login again and create a new token file

            if (
                not credentials or not credentials.valid
            ):  # do we have no token or is the token no longer valid?
                if (
                    credentials and credentials.expired and credentials.refresh_token
                ):  # is the token expired?
                    try:
                        self.logger.debug("Token expired. Attempting to refresh...")
                        credentials.refresh(Request())
                        self.logger.debug("Token successfully refreshed.")
                    except Exception as e:
                        self.logger.error(f"Error renewing token: {e}")
                        raise e
                else:
                    try:
                        dirname = os.path.dirname(__file__)
                        filename = os.path.join(
                            dirname,
                            self.config[self.CONF_YOUTUBE_SETTINGS][
                                self.CONF_CREDENTIALS_FILE
                            ],
                        )
                        flow = InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file(
                            filename,
                            self.SCOPES,
                        )
                        credentials = flow.run_local_server(
                            port=0, access_type="offline", prompt="consent"
                        )
                    except Exception as e:

                        )
                        raise e
                try:
                    with open(token_filename, "w") as token:
                        token.write(credentials.to_json())
                        self.logger.info(
                            f"Token was successfully written to token file `{token_filename}`"
                        )

                    raise e

            self.youtube = build("youtube", "v3", credentials=credentials)
            return self.youtube
        except Exception as e:
            self.logger.error(f"Failed to authenticate: {str(e)}")
            return None

Here are some logs of my python script:
