File Exchange Token has expired?

Hi, I use batch files to update my listings and I was able to update several items today 11-19-20 around noon.  i.e., changing quantity or price via programic uploads. 

 

Tonight, I received this error message in my results.txt file that is kicked back after uploading my changes,

"Your File Exchange upload failed because a valid token is missing. <br><a href="javascript&colon;void(0);" onclick="self.close();return false;">Close</a></body>"

 

This has happened before in the past and I freaked out and went off and got eBay to issue me a new token as soon as I discovered it.  I don't recall exactly where I requested it , but I think it was under advanced help on the file exchange menu.

 

So my questions are;

 

Do tokens expire at regular intervals?

 

Where is the location to request a new token?

 

Am I jumping the gun...is there just a glitch that is going on that will sort it self out, without the need for me to get a new token and paste it into my 6 batch fils in question?

 

I'm not in a hurry, so I think I will wait until tomorrow morning and see it it starts working again.

 

Any insight on token lifespan would be welcome.  I have been using them for more than 10 years and it seems there is no way I have had to get a new one each year.

File Exchange Token has expired?

Page 67 of the File Exchange Advanced Instructions has the link to request a token and it does say that they only last a year.  

 

I'll be back to revisit this next fall.
