Hi,

I’m trying to implement the Authorization Flow via Python([https://developer.okta.com/authentication-guide/implementing-authentication/auth-code/#\_1-setting-up-your-application](https://developer.okta.com/authentication-guide/implementing-authentication/auth-code/#_1-setting-up-your-application))

I believe I’m almost at the finish line. I’m running into an issue when trying to use the Authorization Code I’m getting this error:

```auto
{"error":"invalid_request","error_description":"The grant was issued for another authorization server."}

```

Can anyone let me know how to trouble shoot this?

In case anyone else runs into this. This will occur if you didn’t use `default` in your authorize URL but did in your `token` url

Now that I’m passed that. In the instructions for using [refresh tokens](https://developer.okta.com/authentication-guide/tokens/refreshing-tokens/#how-to-use-a-refresh-token)

It mentions getting a new `Access Refresh Token Pair` do I need to update my refresh token each time I get a new access token?

Hi @mkwyche

No, you don’t need to update your refresh token. It will keep the same value and lifetime that is set under the policy of the authorization server (Admin \>\> (Security) \>\> API \>\> Authorization Servers \>\> default \>\> Access Policies \>\> policy \>\> policy rule).

If the refresh token expires, then you would need to do a request to Okta to get a new one.
