Description

In practical scenarios, we are often limited to using temporary access keys, secret keys, and security tokens to access S3, which typically expire after a few hours.
When utilizing rclone mount, we don't seem to have a way to directly perceive or address the expiration of these authentication credentials.
My question is, is there a method to dynamically update and maintain these credentials while they're in use, ensuring the mounted S3 directory remains accessible without any interruptions caused by their expiration?
Your insights are eagerly awaited, and I sincerely hope to hear back from you soon.

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. First clarify whether rclone mount should refresh temporary S3 credentials automatically, then identify the relevant mount and S3 credential-handling areas; done would mean a mounted S3 directory remains accessible as credentials expire and renew.
