Why Am I Being Disconnected From My Accountancy Software?
While using Lightyear, you may sometimes notice you have been disconnected from your Accountancy Software without having clicked the button yourself, and need to reconnect before you can export again.
This will be because of Refresh Tokens that are set up by your specific Accountancy Software. The refresh token will expire after a period of inactivity, meaning if you haven't exported/imported in a predefined number of days, your accountancy software will disconnect you from Lightyear.
