Amplify will automatically keep the session fresh so long as it's active (i.e. the user is making api calls, etc.).
If you want to force the session to stay active, even though they are not actively using your API, then the easiest thing to do would be to call Auth.currentAuthenticatedUser() at regular intervals.

No- Amplify automatically tries to refresh if the access token has timed out (which happens after an hour). Note that you configure the refresh token expiration in the Cognito User Pools console (General settings > App clients > Refresh token expiration (days))- this is the maximum amount of time a user can go without having to re-sign in.

After a long struggle, I found the solution to update the AWS Cognito refresh token, To do this I am using the amazon-cognito-identity-js
const AmazonCognitoIdentity = require('amazon-cognito-identity-js');
const CognitoUserPool = AmazonCognitoIdentity.CognitoUserPool;
componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps) {
let getIdToken = localStorage.getItem('idToken');
if(getIdToken !== null){
let newDateTime = new Date().getTime()/1000;
const newTime = Math.trunc(newDateTime);
const splitToken = getIdToken.split(".");
const decodeToken = atob(splitToken[1]);
const tokenObj = JSON.parse(decodeToken);
const newTimeMin = ((newTime) + (5 * 60)); //adding 5min faster from current time
//console.log(newTimeMin, tokenObj.exp)
if(newTimeMin > tokenObj.exp){
this.tokenRefresh();
console.log('token updated');
}
}
}
Updating the token method
tokenRefresh(){
const poolData = {
UserPoolId : // Your user pool id here,
ClientId : // Your client id here
};
const userPool = new AmazonCognitoIdentity.CognitoUserPool(poolData);
const cognitoUser = userPool.getCurrentUser();
cognitoUser.getSession((err, session) =>{
const refresh_token = session.getRefreshToken();
cognitoUser.refreshSession(refresh_token, (refErr, refSession) => {
if (refErr) {
throw refErr;
}
else{
//this provide new accessToken, IdToken, refreshToken
// you can add you code here once you get new accessToken, IdToken, refreshToken
}
});
})
}
