Get Access Token for Linked Service (REST) with OAuth2ClientCredential Authentication Type

Question

Hello,

Could you please clarify me the following.

If I implement linked service (REST) with OAuth2ClientCredential Authentication Type, do I need to update access token using refresh token?

Before I implemented the following steps: 1- got access token from AKV, 2- if token expired, I updated it with refresh token, 3 - used Copy activity to load data (with Additional headers where I specified updated access token).

Now I noticed that if linked service (REST) is implemented with OAuth2ClientCredential Authentication Type I do not need to store access token in AKV, I do not need to refresh token. I just use Copy Activity (without any Additional headers) and it seems like Linked service takes care of renewing the token.
Is that correct?

Thanks
