Personally, I'm not sure I'm getting exactly what the issue is. Your saying you want it to be like google or somthing? For example, when I bootup my computer and open chrome, I can click on my google drive and it just opens without me having to login first. That's what your hoping the onshape login experience could be like? You want the authentication token to have a longer expiration time. It seems like they should be able to do that without it hogging resources on AWS but I certainly have a tiny little microgram worth of insight into the underlying system. It would seem a valid oauth token that persists for a long time isn't forcing AWS to stay booted and connected to a user. Where I work, we use some custom applications that interact with onshape. Once the application initiates the authorization flow and it succeeds, a users authentication to the API lasts for many days. But, I really have never been bothered by having to click one button at the start of each day to open up my onshape home screen. I guess I sort of agree though that auth tokens seem like they should be able to remain valid for many days without burdening AWS.
