We are caching the AdwordsUser instance in our code (which contains the
token). However we were doing this in the reporting part of our
application based on the account email, which is not the same as the email
we use for authentication which is for our MCC. So we would only
authenticate once per account, but actually multiple times for the same MCC
user. We changed our code to directly cache the auth token for our MCC
user.
Let me just give one more shout out to the good folks at Google that pay
attention to this forum. Our application has to work on both Google and
The Search Engine Who Shall Not Be Named. I can tell you that posting to
that other forum is really just a typing exercise for the developer. It is
really a pleasure to know that if you take the time to formulate an
intelligent query, that you will get one or more intelligent replies.
