Hi @Anonymous ,

Based on my research, we can try to use the token lifetime policy and Assign policy to a service principal to configure the expiretime up to 24 hours, please refer to this document and thread: 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/active-directory-configurable-token-lifetimes#example-token-lifetime-policies

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Developer/Access-token-setting-expiration-times/td-p/215696

you can also keep the default expire time and generate a new token before expire to update. when generate an embedded token, it will return the expire time, then you can generate a new token before the expire time, please refer to the example code with javascript

https://github.com/microsoft/PowerBI-JavaScript/wiki/Update-Embed-Token

https://github.com/microsoft/PowerBI-JavaScript/wiki/Refresh-token-using-JavaScript-SDK-example

we did not find sample code by RESTful, but the logic should be similar.

Update:

following policy make the expire time up to 2 hours (token refreshed when 04:55 UTC+0)

$policy = New-AzureADPolicy -Definition @('{"TokenLifetimePolicy":{"Version":1,"AccessTokenLifetime":"02:00:00","MaxAgeSessionSingleFactor":"02:00:00"}}') -DisplayName "ApiDefaultPolicyScenario" -IsOrganizationDefault $false -Type "TokenLifetimePolicy"

Best regards,
