Reconnecting to Snowflake OAuth after authentication expires
When you connect Snowflake to dbt platform using OAuth, dbt stores a refresh token. This allows your development credentials to remain usable in tools like the Studio IDE and the dbt Semantic Layer without needing to re-authenticate each time.
If you see an authentication has expired error when you try to run queries, you must renew your connection between Snowflake and the dbt platform.
To resolve the issue, complete the following steps:
- Go to your Profile settings page, accessible from the navigation menu.
- Navigate to Credentials and then choose the project where you're experiencing the issue.
- Under Development credentials, click the Reconnect Snowflake Account button. This will guide you through re-authenticating using your SSO workflow.
Your Snowflake administrator can configure the refresh token validity period, up to the maximum 90 days.
If you've tried these step and are still getting this error, please contact the Support team at support@getdbt.com for further assistance.
