Access token generated with refresh token got permissions revoked

As per the dropbox offline flow, I've set up a flow where I've generated a refresh token after the owner of the dropbox (me)  - Generated an access code using this URL https://www.dropbox.com/oauth...

Could be that during the dev process I accidentally created a refresh token without the app having valid permissions.
Can we keep this discussion alive just in case something pops up again?

I just want confirmation that the refresh token lives forever.

Thanks for your replies, in the end I re-started the whole process
1. Generated an access code
2. Requested a refresh token
3. Used the refresh token to get a new access token on each upload
4. Uploaded files.

Was pretty sure I got the whole flow right from the get go, this surprised me as I did not recall creating an app without permissions, but let's see if the token scope goes missing again.
I've saved all the creds so if anything pops up I'll contact you again.

Thank you for your help.

If you used that token, for sure.
