## Before you call it

1. Turn off refresh token rotation on the application before using the refresh token exchange
2. Treat a 401 from the exchange as a missing connected account and send the user through the Connected Accounts flow
3. Pass login_hint when a user has linked two accounts from the same provider
4. Use CIBA for purchases or deletes and wait for the approval instead of asking in chat
5. Read X-RateLimit-Reset on a 429 and back off until then

## Connect

```bash
npm install @auth0/ai
