There are a few ways to handle an exceeded length of a JWT access token in Auth0:

  1. Reduce the amount of data stored in the token: One way to handle an exceeded token length is to reduce the amount of data stored in the token. This can be done by removing unnecessary user claims or by storing less data in each claim.
  2. Use a custom token: Another option is to use a custom token that stores additional data in a separate database or cache. This way, you can keep the token size within the limits allowed by Auth0.
  3. Use refresh tokens: Instead of storing all the data in the access token, you can use refresh tokens to retrieve additional data from the server when needed. This can help reduce the size of the access token and prevent it from exceeding the maximum length.
  4. Split the data into multiple tokens: If you absolutely need to store a large amount of data in the token, you can split the data into multiple tokens and store them separately. This way, you can distribute the data across multiple tokens and prevent any single token from exceeding the maximum length.
  5. Contact Auth0 support: If none of the above options work for your use case, you can reach out to Auth0 support for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional guidance or help you find a solution that meets your specific needs.
