Utilising the offline_access scope, you get a refresh and access token.

The access token lasts 30 minutes and the refresh token lasts for 60 days or until it used in a refresh call when you need a new access token.

When you make a refresh call, you get a new access and a new refresh token.

As long as you are refreshing regularly and storing the new refresh token, you shouldn't need to reauthenticate in Salesforce

Hi There @sallyhornet, Thanks for your reply. I have a question, Do we have to call refresh token each and every time as we call our api for get or post then what about limit? or we have to create schedule class for generate refresh token once a day? I am confuse. Please help. Thanks in advance.
This is up to you and depends on how often the API is used. Some developers add a refresh script before every call, others will schedule the refresh, others will add a script to check the access token is valid and then only refresh if the token expiry date and time is before the current time. Refreshes do not count towards the API call limits
as i am refresh token every 30 minutes and it works thanks for your help but i have to re auth every time not sure why? Is it because of i am passing tenantid as static instead of call connect api to get it? - @sallyhornet
You shouldn't have to reauthenticate, the tenant id being static shouldn't make a difference. Please can you raise a case, developer.xero.com/contact-xero-developer-platform-support, and give details of your client id. Could you also include a screen shot of what is prompting you to reauthenticate and details of the date, time and timezone when you last authenticated
