Subject: bug#79168: [PATCH 09/11] Support reusing cached access-token before it expires
Date: Fri,  8 Aug 2025 23:45:48 -0700
* packages/oauth2/oauth2.el (oauth2-token): Added new fields
`auth-url' and `request-timestamp' to support retrieving the cached
tokens and calculate expiration.
* packages/oauth2/oauth2.el (oauth2--current-timestamp): Add.
* packages/oauth2/oauth2.el (oauth2--update-plstore): Refactor code
for updating plstore storage in this function to avoid duplication.
* packages/oauth2/oauth2.el (oauth2-refresh-access): implement reusing
existing access-token if not expired.
