Description

I believe the default access token for OIDC expires after 20 minutes.

While this helps in case it is leaked to another system in that period, it can be confusing for new users, developers and apps who are not prepared for short lived access.

I suggest during the developer / alpha phase, either non expiring or 2 week long access tokens as outlined in :
