New OAuth starting september - what does it mean for me?
So far ive had a small app running that just up and downloads a small handful of files every day. it uses the normal oauth2 access token that i generated on the settings page of the app. now the quest...
It sounds like in your case you've only manually generated an access token to connect to your own account, and are not using the actual OAuth app authorization flow.
Long-lived access tokens are now considered deprecated, but we don't currently have a plan to disable existing long-lived access tokens. (If that changes, we will of course announce that ahead of time.) That being the case, you can continue using existing long-lived access token(s).
Note though that after the change you won't be able to create/generate new long-lived access tokens.
