Silent token refresh doesn't seem to actually update the token about oidc-react HOT 4 CLOSED

I think I might have found the problem! At the above step 3 the token is refreshed and put in storage (localstorage in my case, but I'm guessing that shouldn't matter here). userData from useAuth will still give you the old access token etc., but if you go into the browser debug tools and search in local(/session)storage and search for oidc.user: (it will be followed by a url) you should find a key that contains the new user data and new access token. You can verify this, since if you refresh the page then the access token that useAuth gives you will be the one that you found under oidc.user: and stuff will work again.

I thought (still relatively new to react) it might have been this line

Have you found a fix?
