Permanant Data Access Token ? Programatically renew DataAccessToken ?

[daslicht]

Hello
is there a way to generate a permanent access token using the SDK ?

When i verify my generated tokens it says:

Expires | Never
Data Access Expires | 1603117184 (in about 3 months)

Does that mean it is not permanent ?

The expiration period for data access is 90 days, based on when the user was last active. When this 90-day period expires, the user can still access your app — that is, they are still authenticated — but your app can't access their data. To regain data access, your app must ask the user to re-authorize your app's permissions.

Thank you very much for the reply !
To the token expiration date is reset on each usage ? eg by reading events ?
I am creating a solution for a client. The facebook app essentially is just used to generate the access token so that we can read all his page events. The app will not be shared with others.
So there is no way to create a permanent token ?

I just did some further research.
When I do a api call something liek this:

            $response = $this->fb->get(
              '/somepage/events?fields=cover, description,name, start_time, end_time', //Get events and specified fields
              $this->access_token
            );

This should reset the expiration of the data_access token, but it doesn't.
Or how is the user activity measured ?
How to trigger user activity ?
What counts as user activity ?
