Expired Token Cleanup

This plugin includes a scheduled Celery task (ol_clear_expired_tokens) that automatically removes expired OAuth2 access tokens, refresh tokens, and grant tokens from the database.

Behavior:

• Runs every Monday at 9:00 AM (server time) via Celery Beat by default. The schedule can be customized by overriding the ol_clear_expired_tokens entry in CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE.

• Uses django-oauth-toolkit’s clear_expired() to delete tokens that have exceeded the configured expiration threshold.

• Sets REFRESH_TOKEN_EXPIRE_SECONDS to 30 days (overriding the edx-platform default of 90 days). Tokens revoked or expired longer than 30 days ago will be cleaned up.

Note: If running this plugin for the first time on a database with a large backlog of expired tokens (millions of rows), consider running the edx_clear_expired_tokens management command manually first to reduce the initial volume before relying on the scheduled task.
