I have a basic OAuth flow to authenticate with 3rd party API , after the authentication is successful, I use a delay node to wait for x seconds (expires\_in property - 100 seconds) and then I push the message to refresh the token, and I am trying to keep that loop going, but after a couple of token refreshes, the node-red fails to authenticate. Is there any better way to make the flow?
