Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to authentication token refresh. In various embodiments, a first of a plurality of instances of an application executing on the server system receives a request to provide content to a browser of a client device. The first application instance determines that an authentication token useable to provide the content has expired. The authentication token is maintained in a storage accessible to the plurality of application instances. The first application instance sends a refresh request for the authentication token to an authentication service. In response to the authentication service denying the refresh request, the first application instance waits for a particular period of time before checking the storage to determine whether another instance of the plurality of instances of the application has refreshed the authentication token.
