Apps need to treat these experiences more critically. I had a similar forced re-auth with Gaia when i was offline, losing my maps.

So here I am, lost, trying to find my way using a downloaded map, and the app won't let me in.

These are no longer casual entertainment experiences we are dealing with. Many of these apps are central to carrying on with life. And they are introducing new and unanticipated failure modes.
