Jira Oauth REST API - renew expired acces Token

Question

I have already made a successful connection using Oauth following the next tutorial: https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/oauth/

When I make a POST request base_url/oauth/access-token, it retrieves me the following body:

{

'oauth_token_secret': 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX,
'oauth_session_handle': 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
'oauth_authorization_expires_in': '160272000',
'oauth_token': 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
'oauth_expires_in': '157680000'

}

My question is what the numbers of the *_expires_in fields are: Timestamp? Miliseconds? (If it is Timestamp, it doesn't make a lot of sense cause it refers to the century before)

I made some research and I found out that all access tokens expires in 7 days if I am correct. So what are those fields (*_expires_in) referred for?

Furthermore, Is there any way to renew the access-token? like for example with Oauth2 there is the refresh-token to do it. Or it has to be always every 7 days manually?

Finally my last question, is there any new new that Jira will support Oauth2?

Thanks.

Is there any way for us to change the length of the token expiry? ('oauth_expires_in': '157680000')

5 years is a crazy long time. And I cant seems to find any docs explaining on how I can modify this. Any help would be much appreciated

Hi even i had doubt on this, but up-to my research, its saying expires_in with means it will expire after then seconds that's given there. 157680000 is 5 years. I think it will expires in five years. oauth_authorization_expires_in is also ~5 years. i don't know what is the difference between both of them
