Microsoft's documentation for the ArcGIS Connector list a few limitations, including:

Connections will time out after 14 days and must be refreshed manually by initiating a sign-in to ArcGIS.

Does this mean that any PA flows using the connector will need to be manually updated every 2 weeks? Is there any longer term plans on the roadmap to address this, or suggested workarounds to avoid this manual step?

Appreciate any guidance!

Hi @EendrulatGH - your understanding is correct. The connection uses a token to connect to ArcGIS Online and it expires after 14 days forcing the user to refresh the connection.

We are working with Microsoft and investigating other methods for authenticating to avoid the two week expiration, but no timeline for release has been set.

It's a 90 day time out now on the ArcGIS connector, I believe on all builds of it.

@SeanKMcGinnis, you mentioned working on other methods to keep connections active. First, can you confirm what @RobertAnderson3 said about the 90 day time out? If that's correct, then I'm gold but if it's still 14 days, then I'll need to find other methods (API key, etc?).

I have a public Survey123 form so not sure the longest period before the form is used to report an issue so I want to make sure my flow it stays alive, regardless. We're also building flows with ArcGIS webhooks wanting to control this for those also.
