Solved Microsoft Power Automate cloud flow issue on refresh token has expired due to inactivity (Error Code 700082)


When a user fills up an online Microsoft Form and submit, it will automatically trigger a Microsoft Power Automate cloud flow that will capture the user input data from the online Microsoft Form and send for approval via email.

This has been working fine until from August 2024, the trigger connection has failed due to the expiration or invalidity of the refresh token stored in the connection:

Power Automate Flow issue on refresh token has expired (Error Code 700082)
Error Code: 700082

Message:
The refresh token has expired due to inactivity. The token was issued on {issueDate} and was inactive for {time}.

Remediation:
Expected part of the token lifecycle - the user went an extended period of time without using the application, so the token was expired when the app attempted to refresh it.
