    Yes, you can try making an API call and check if it fails with a 401 invalid access token error. Getting the user's account information is a good call to use for this, since it doesn't have side effects.

     

    For example, with the .NET SDK, you can call GetCurrentAccountAsync, and catch/check the AuthError.
