I’m facing the same issue with my OAuth client.
My OAuth client is currently listed under Project Checkup → Client Usage → Unused Clients, with a warning that it may be deleted if not used within the next 30 days.
However, I’m actively using this OAuth client in my production application.
On November 4, 2026, I successfully used the existing refresh token to generate a new access token using the same OAuth Client ID and Client Secret.
Even after successfully generating a new access token, the OAuth client is still appearing in the Unused Clients list.
Could someone from the Google team clarify:
-
Does a successful refresh token exchange count as OAuth client activity?
-
Why is the client still marked as unused?
-
Is there a delay in updating the usage status?
-
How can we prevent this active OAuth client from being automatically deleted?
This OAuth client is essential for our production integration. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thank you.
