Appcelerator Titanium Cloud session token expiration limits

The Appcelerator Titanium SDK utilizes session tokens via Ti.Cloud.Users.login to authenticate API requests. These tokens have a defined Time-to-Live (TTL), typically 24 hours, after which the server returns a 401 Unauthorized response for subsequent calls.

While the SDK provides the mechanism to obtain these tokens, there is no built-in transparent renewal process. Developers must manually intercept expiration errors and re-invoke the login sequence to maintain session continuity. This creates a design gap regarding how to handle long-running background processes without forcing a full user re-authentication flow.

Unresolved Implementation Details

• Is there a documented method to extend a session token's validity without requiring the user's original credentials?
• What is the recommended architectural pattern for handling 401 responses to ensure a seamless user experience during token expiration?
