An OAuth token lives 12 months. Once this time frame is over, the token will not work anymore.
The password or authentication method for the account that owns the token might have changed. For the full list of possible causes of token invalidation, see this Yandex ID article that explains how revoking tokens works.
To get a valid OAuth token, run a request to Yandex OAuth. You will see the token on the page that opens.
