We've had OAuth2 running successfully for a while now, but we're finding
that mobile applications have frequent problems with the refresh flow where
a refresh request is made, but the network connection fails before the new
AT/RT pair is received, leading to a "lost grant".

In server-logs we can see that the token has been refreshed, and a new RT
issued, but the client is stuck with the old invalidated RT.

This problem has been reported by two separate client applications, both of
whom are using a retry-mechanism for API requests since they expect an
unreliable network connection.

Does anybody have any guidance on this issue, or is there any work in an
extension to address the issue of lost grants for token refreshes?
