Description
Describe the enhancement
I'm looking for a way to put a self-hosted github runner into an autoscale group.
I've discussed with Github Support and they've explained that the tokens are only valid for one hour. That's problematic for an autoscale group because it means they will fail to bring up a runner an hour after I deploy the autoscale group. They recommended raising my issue here, I apologize if we've both missed an obvious solution for this.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing the self-hosted runner registration-token lifecycle and its autoscaling deployment path; done would require an agreed, supported way to provision runners beyond the token's one-hour validity.
