Details

The lifetime of access token used for accessing Microsoft 365 APIs is about an hour. Most of the Microsoft 365 reader functions execute quickly, but in some situations the usage function will run more than an hour. Since the access token expires by then, the import fails with an error.

Workaround

There is no known workaround. Contact Flexera Support for guidance if this issue is affecting you.
