I get the same error after about an hour of bot-time

[tvpman]

got the same any solutions?

[chr1spy]

Restart the bot...

[Quantra]

Yup restart the bot is a solution. This exception is occuring when...

pgoapi.exceptions.AuthException: Could not retrieve a PTC Access Token

So either it crashing out is expected behaviour or the bot needs updating to handle this exception and perhaps try getting another PTC access token.

restart is a solution, but i report this bug so someone can fix it :)
