# Grace period for token refresh
<a name="token-refresh"></a>

Occasionally, there may be instances where identity providers encounter temporary or extended outages, which may lead to your users being logged out unexpectedly due to a failed refresh token for their client session. To prevent this problem, you can establish a grace period that allows your users to remain signed in even if their client refresh token fails during such outages.

Here are the available options for the grace period:
+ No grace period (default): Users will be signed out immediately after a refresh token failure.
+ 30 minute grace period: Users can stay signed in for up to 30 minutes after a refresh token failure.
+ 60 minute grace period: Users can stay signed in for up to 60 minutes after a refresh token failure.
