Thank you for bringing this up. I will add a note that implementations should not use rotation in backend applications. client authentication+client_id binding is the better and easier mechanism.

We had to add some controls to deal with concurrency and additional complexity + performance penalties. And for such clients, I was not sure whether or not rotation makes sense.

I don’t think this is new as RFC6759 already required ASs to check this binding. Assuming backends are generally confidential clients also means no rotation and no cache synchronization needed.

That’s inconvenient so the question is how often this happens. What I can say, I have never seen customer complaining in several years of operation of ASs with refresh token rotation (including replay detection) for native apps with millions of users.
