OAuth2 code is shortlived

I use Dropbox with Virtualmin to make backups of the virtual servers. My problem is that the OAuth2 code is very shortlived and I have to request a new one for every connection, leading to that automatic backups are impossible to implement. It is not my module, it is an integrated service in Virtualmin

 

What is this about and what can I do about it? Pls see the attahced picture of the settings in Virtualmin

    You'll need to contact Virtualmin. Dropbox retired long-lived access tokens, so Virtualmin will likely need to update their app to use refresh tokens instead.
