I searched and the last mention of this was last year. I can’t even use the damn thing now because every day this week I just get “The state token is invalid or has expired. Please try again.” Right when I try to log in from the sidebar. Nothing else has changed except this new error. EDIT: if I keep trying it eventually comes up. sigh. I keep telling myself it’s inexpensive, but it’s still a piece of software we are PAYING for. ---

What OS and browser are you using? I would assume Windows and Chrome but we have some Mac users too. Have you already tried clearing the browser cache, rebooting your computer and router? ---

I’m ironically on MS Edge (built on chrome), but on a Mac. I haven’t tried any of those things, but if I keep trying and it eventually works without doing those things, then those things are not likely to be the culprit. ---

Will you got me stumped. I’m glad to hear it eventually works. All I can suggests is a few other things I would try to narrow down the cause. Maybe someone else here has the answer! ---

Almost 3 weeks later, this is still happening. ---

I’ll just chime in to say that this has been happening to me periodically lately. Here’s what happens: -The sidebar logs itself out. -I click on the button to log back-in, which takes me to the general Tiller log-in screen. When I try to log-in with my gmail account, I get the stale token is invalid message. -I seem to be able to fix it by going back to my Tiller sheet, reloading the page, and relaunching the sidebar. -Not sure why it’s happening, and it doesn’t seem to be predictable when it happens. But it’s new over the last few weeks. I’m in Sheets on a Mac in Chrome if that’s helpful for diagnosing. ---

Thanks for the details. It might be the auth token (a Google security setting) that logs you out after inactivity or a certain amount of time elapses and requires a close out/re-launch. ---

Hi @dharhas does closing your sheet and re-launching Tiller Money Feeds help? ---

I’ve found that it’s not necessary to close the sheet entirely. I’ve starting just closing the sidebar after I’m done refreshing, and then I can reopen it the next day without any issue. ---

Looks like some combination of closing the sheet/browser fixes it. ---

Just wanted to let you know that this was happening to me as well and your reply helped. Still have no idea why it was happening. ---

If you don’t close out of the browser session then the authentication token will expire. Google requires that you close out of the sidebar then log back in to provide a fresh authentication token. ---

It should be possible for the extension to check the expiration of the authentication token and request a new one if it has expired. This check should be performed every time a user clicks the button to login (or skip the check and just always request a new token). This page has some good info: [Handling Google OAuth Refresh Tokens in a Chrome Extension](https://www.xiegerts.com/post/chrome-extension-google-oauth-refresh-token/) ---

Thanks for this resource, I’ve shared it with our team to review. We do perform a check every time a user clicks the button to login, but when users don’t close out of the add-on after a whole day (maybe over night it’s left open) then that check can’t run. ---

My personal expectation of any software doing what tiller does is to just stay open and connected and every time I look at the spreadsheet it’s already fully up to date. There are FAR too many clicks for this to be good UX.
