**Enviroment using** win10 postman 8.0.6 **Precondition** - several requests in several collections. - requests of one collection are using the same authtoken - All requests contain “inherit auth from parent” authorization - all collections are using OAuth 2.0 - 18 different enviroments using Access Token Url, Client ID, Client Secret as same variables **Steps to reproduce** - renewing token in the collection - “use token” (Button “save token” from postman 7 missing?) - sending a request **Problem** - 401 unauthorized - Checking sended data by “\” and [jwt.io](http://jwt.io): the token is an older one with an expired date. **workaround** using the OAuth 2.0 tab in the request itself works ---

Is no one having the same problem or a solution for that? I’m thinking of downgrading to postman 7 ---

I am seeing similar behavior but I’m new to Postman, assumed I was doing something wrong. I’ll try to downgrade, thanks for posting this. ---

for what it’s worth it looks like if I save the collection and the request immediately after refreshing the token it updates. ---

Hey @bernhardboehm As this is the Postman community fourm, it’s not the place to raise product issues that you may be facing. These posts would be largely seen by fellow users rather than the Postman team. If you’re raising an issue with the platform, you’re best option is to always use the Github Issue Tracker, that way it’s directly put in front of the team that can investigate these issues. > **[postmanlabs/postman-app-support](https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues)** > > s I would hate for things like this to be missed and go unanswered on the forum. 😢 ---

Even if it was a ‘non-bug’ the only people who would give you absolutele clarify on that, would be the Postman team. 😄 When in doubt, just raise it directly on GitHub and it can be triaged accordingly. 🏆 You’re not wasting anyone’s time by doing that 😁 ---
