AADSTS54005

Authorization code already redeemed

What it means

The OAuth2 authorization code was already used.

How to fix it

An app bug. Each code can be redeemed once; use the refresh token instead.

How to investigate

  1. Compare what the app sends (client ID, redirect URI, scopes, tenant) with the app registration.
  2. Decode the token or request: the JWT and SAML decoders on this site show exactly what was sent.
  3. Check the app's credentials (secrets and certificates) and whether the service principal exists and is enabled in this tenant.
  4. Search the sign-in logs for the request ID or correlation ID from the troubleshooting details on the error page.
