Expired token in Excel Connector

Hi,
I have a flow that has been running smoothly for over a year and is triggered by an app.
For a few weeks now, the execution has repeatedly failed for some users.
The error occurs with the Excel Connector:
 
{
  "status"401,
  "message""Lifetime validation failed, the token is expired.\r\nclientRequestId: a66b5ce6-1b25-4db7-a8bb-93b98d7a9234\r\nserviceRequestId: 460848cd-8063-4cc2-92d7-4695e422c640",
  "error": {
    "message""Lifetime validation failed, the token is expired."
  },
  "source""excelonline-ne.azconn-ne-003.p.azurewebsites.net"
}
 
 
I haven't found a solution online yet, except that the connection has to be renewed. But of course that's not ideal in a production environment, especially if it has to be done regularly.
Often the problem only lasts for 24 hours for a user and then it works again.

Is there a way to automatically renew the token in the flow when it expires?
Does anyone have another solution or idea?
 

Thanks
