Acquired tokens are cached by the credential instance. Token lifetime and refreshing is handled automatically. Where possible, reuse credential instances to optimize cache effectiveness.

override this.GetToken : Azure.Core.TokenRequestContext * System.Threading.CancellationToken -> Azure.Core.AccessToken
