 * Hello,
 * I used to use the GAinWP Google Analytics Integration plugin.
    But since a few
   months the plugin was regularly disconnecting from google analytics. And I had
   an error message “This plugin needs authorization” or “This report is not available(
   400)”.
 * I am a webmaster and I have more than 100 sites to manage.
    So I had to reconnect
   the sites to google analytics regularly. Then on the support of this plugin a
   person indicated the link to your plugin: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-it-support-wp-5-8-1/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-it-support-wp-5-8-1/)
 * So I use your plugin since a few weeks.
    But this week, I have the same problem
   as with GAinWP Google Analytics Integration, your plugin disconnects and I have
   to reconnect all my sites to google analytics.
 * Where does the problem come from?
 * Sorry for my English, I’m French?
 * Thanks
 * Have a nice day

 * Hi,
 * Can you check the _Errors & Debug_ screen and post the error details?
 * Without having the above details, the only thing I can think of is that you’re
   exceeding the 25 refresh tokens limit. Here are [some solutions](https://deconf.com/error-refreshing-the-oauth2-token-message-error-invalid_grant/)
   if that’s the case.

 * Hello,
 * Thank you for your answer and your reactivity.
 * Indeed I have more than 25 sites connected.
    I am looking at the solutions that
   you have noted.
 * Thank you

 * You can also do a quick test to see if that’s really the issue:
 * 1. Authorize 25 websites and note down the first two.
 * 2. Authorize a few more, eg two more sites.
 * 3. Wait for 60+ minutes (this is very important, it must be over an hour).
 * 4. Login to the first authorized site and clear cache from plugin settings.
 * 5. Go to the Admin dashboard and switch to a different report from the one being
   displayed.
