I would suggest a JavaScript snippet and a fork. The js gets the current time and assigns it a variable. In the fork, have a loop with a 1 second delay and a second piece of js that keeps track of the time, maybe an if statement that refreshed the token at 9m 59s

The idea is sound. I'm not sure why you would have code under the fork or the if statement though

Something like this...

js to get time, store in variable tokenTime=now
request new token, tokenValue=new token
fork
....loop
........delay 1 sec
........js to calc diff between now and tokenTime
........if now > (tokenTime+9:58)
............tokenValue=request new token
............tokenTime=now
request uses tokenValue
request uses tokenValue

Yes, it’s in the example code when you drag a js snippet into your userpath
