Refresh User Token

Path:
POST /auth/local/refresh
The access token returned in the response of the Login Local User endpoint is valid for 35 minutes. When the user's session is about to expire, this endpoint is triggered to extend the session, seamlessly and securely. The refresh token is passed in the request body to extend the session and its validity is generally 45 days.
Note: The validity of the JWT tokens (access and refresh) is configurable.
