Receiving an `authentication has expired` error when trying to run queries in the IDE.

If you see a authentication has expired error when you try to run queries in the dbt CLoud IDE, this means your OAuth connection between Snowflake and dbt Cloud has expired.

To fix this, you must reconnect the two tools.

Your Snowflake administrator can configure the refresh tokens' validity, which has a maximum 90-day validity period.

To resolve the issue, complete the following steps:

  1. Go to your Profile settings page, accessible from the navigation menu.
  2. Navigate to Credentials and click on the project you're experiencing the issue with.
  3. Under Development credentials, click the Reconnect Snowflake Account (green) button. This steps you through reauthentication using the SSO workflow.

If you've tried these step and are still getting this error, please contact the Support team at support@getdbt.com for further assistance.
