az login timeout?

See original GitHub issue

I’m writing a script that needs to handle az login expiration. To test it, I have to be able to tell az login to expire after a certain amount of time. I don’t want to az logout. I want the az to be cached, just expired.

Is there a way to do that or hack something to mimic that behavior?

Environment summary

Install Method (e.g. pip, interactive script, apt-get, Docker, MSI, edge build) / CLI version (az --version) / OS version / Shell Type (e.g. bash, cmd.exe, Bash on Windows)

Hello @yugangw-msft , recently i find the credential is invalidated soon after i run az login. Supposedly, it should be 3 months, but now, it is a few days (~ 2 days). any suggestion to fix it?

For testing, maybe you can just delete the ~/.azure/accessTokens.json? (for windows it is under C:\Users\<user>\.azure)
