This is intended, you got a refresh_token in order to update the access_token. You should go through the explanations in https://developers.strava.com/docs/getting-started/#oauth again.

The piece I think we are missing is once authorized, we are not able to get the client ID so that we can fetch the refresh token. Does anyone know a way to retrieve this client ID once a user authorizes without that user having to go into their account or copy that ID out of the url?
We are only getting access for 6 hours before the authorization expires.
+26The user doesn’t have a client id, only your app has it and you can copy it from your API settings page https://www.strava.com/settings/api
Also you don’t fetch the refresh token as an extra step, it always comes alongside the access token.
