new access token are directly invalid since 1 day

I'm using the Spotify API and since about one day the service built on it doesn't work anymore. After some research I figured out that accesstokens are directly invalid. 

I'm able to obtain an accesstoken with the client-id, client-secret and refreshtoken.

Which makes me assume that the api should be working. 

However, when I do an api call with that token I get directly a 401 (accesstoken invalid). 

I'm clueless, because I didn't change anything on my side and the service worked flawless until about 1 day ago.

Hey @kasperradio. Access tokens expire after a short while. You can check the validity period of your access token by looking at the expires_in parameter or property that Spotify gives your app when it obtains an access token.

Thanks for your reply. 

I figured out the error, it seems that accessTokens have a higher character count since a few days (I count 287). My database field to store the token was set to a maximum of 255 characters.
