I think this happens: - Bot fires up and gets some tokens - Bot does a lot of edits all with the same token - For some reason after a long time the token is not valid anymore - The bot continues to try to edit with the old invalid token instead of getting a new one How long is a token supposed to be valid? Forever? The Pywikibot code seems to assume that it can use the same token for all edits in a one run. One run can take days or weeks. As a work around I now force the site to get a new token when I run into a problem. That seems to be stable. So I think Pywikibot needs to be updated in the framework itself that if it runs into a token error, the a new token gets retrieved, updated in the token cache and the edit should be retried. Agree @Xqt ? Most relevant code is in https://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot/blob/master/pywikibot/site/__init__.py btw.
