I am not sure what is happening here, but coming back to the issue at 
hand. I found the following information on Google:

Authorizations by a test user will expire seven days from the time of 
consent. If your OAuth client requests an offline access type and receives 
a refresh token, that token will also expire.

the source is

Does this explain what is happening here?
