Hi, I am getting this error kiteconnect.exceptions.TokenException: Incorrect `api_key` or `access_token`.
I have followed following steps. 1. 500 subscription bought and Active 2. Static IP updated in my profile 3. New App created and API KEY and API SECRET fetched 4. Using python kite connect kit installed and further using API Key and Secret Token fetched 5. using API KEY, API Secret and Token successfully logged in (where python can get my name and trade ID properly). 6. Verified using below code: printf 'KEY=[%s] len=%d\n' "$KITE_API_KEY" $(printf '%s' "$KITE_API_KEY" | wc -c) printf 'TOKEN start=[%s] len=%d\n' "$(printf '%s' "$KITE_ACCESS_TOKEN" | cut -c1-6)" $(printf '%s' "$KITE_ACCESS_TOKEN" | wc -c) 7. then I tested this for final ensure python3 -c "import os; from kiteconnect import KiteConnect; k=KiteConnect(os.getenv('KITE_API_KEY')); k.set_access_token(os.getenv('KITE_ACCESS_TOKEN')); print('OK', k.profile()['user_name'])"
Got the above error. Full output message is below

The error message indicates that your access token might have expired. To resolve this, you need to fetch a new access token. Please note that the exchange mandates traders to log in manually at least once a day, and we do not recommend automating the login process.
Here are the key details: - Access tokens are flushed daily at 7:30 AM, and new tokens are generated at 7:35 AM. - Ensure you generate the access token after 7:35 AM on the same trading day. The token will remain valid throughout the day unless you log out.
For more details, you can refer to the documentation for the login flow or check a similar discussion here.
