OAuth for Bitbucket requires frequent reauthentication

[danielklein_hmrreferrals]

My OAuth authentication for Bitbucket only lasts about an hour, whereas a colleague's lasts days. I have to go to Tools > Options > Authentication > Accounts > me@example.com > Edit > Refresh OAuth Token for almost every push and pull.

I do have multiple credentials for different servers set up whereas my colleague only has the one. What can I do to stay authorised for long periods of time?

I've swapped from the embedded Git to the system Git (which never asks me to reauthenticate) and I've had no problems connecting since!
