GH Enterprise and public GH don't share tokens, so 1 login/day automatically becomes 2. Then, logins aren't shared across devices and 2 additional devices (phone and personal computer) makes 4 logins/day.

Not sure why GitHub expires tokens so quickly, but I can replicate it across every device I own and multiple accounts. Maybe they just don't like me?

It's to be more secure!

Of course then you can do everything with your never expiring ssh keys and application tokens… but that doesn't count :D

I have never experienced this. I almost never have to log in after the initial login.
Yeah. I think they just don't like you. I log in probably once every 3 months or something, on every device. Nowhere close to every day.

Can I ask what country you're from? Maybe that has something to do with it?
