Thx for your good reply
as you mention the access token couldn't revoke by it self, and there are some reasons, here as i'm the admin & account owner & only user use the account I will reply with actions token before based on your mention :
the Connected apps page : connected
the Security checkup page : connected
any client with the access token can revoke : there is no clients , there is one user, it's me
can revoke access tokens found publicly posted on GitHub : it's not uploaded to github
if the app uses the "app folder" permission, the access token can effectively be disabled by deleting the app folder : app folder still exist
the app can be disabled : app still enabled
the account that owns the app can be disabled : account still enabled
the connected account can be disabled : connected account still enabled
as you mention the access token wouldn't expire , may you explan with the wrong thing I did ?
BTW, I change the access token ysterday, it was working fine yesterday , today it's got revoked !
