As far as I known the tokens for Azure Active directory for Azure Maps always expired after 24 hours. I recall even testing this out years ago when support for Azure Active Directory was added to Azure Maps. I suspect this issue has been an issue in your app for a while but the error was getting hidden. Note that the map likely still loaded fine as it most likely was pulling the map tiles from the browser cache.

Hi @rbrundritt , thanks for answer,

My requirement is i need to create a new SAS key with some months of expiry date. What changes i need to do from our end to achieve this?

Also, as per this documentation, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-maps/azure-maps-authentication#shared-access-signature-token-authentication , it says, "Lifetime of a token for a max expiration of one year (365 days).", so it is possible to have a SAS token with some months of expiry date.

Hi @Saravanan Ponnusamy Apologies for the confusion. As Ricky pointed out, the maximum lifetime for the token is 24 hours. We have modified the document to reflect the same. You can now see that the section says, "Lifetime of a token for a max expiration of one day (24 hours)." Hope this resolves your issues.
