Answer 1

As an option to RenewTokens method from MVC Client example, I made one filter that makes the job automatically, when the token is about 10 minutes or less to expire.

public class TokenFilterAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        var expat = filterContext.HttpContext.Authentication.GetTokenAsync("expires_at").Result;

        var dataExp = DateTime.Parse(expat, null, DateTimeStyles.RoundtripKind);

        if ((dataExp - DateTime.Now).TotalMinutes < 10)
        {
            var disco = DiscoveryClient.GetAsync("http://localhost:5000/").Result;
            if (disco.IsError) throw new Exception(disco.Error);

            var tokenClient = new TokenClient(disco.TokenEndpoint, "clientId",
                "clientSecret");

            var rt = filterContext.HttpContext.Authentication.GetTokenAsync("refresh_token").Result;
            var tokenResult = tokenClient.RequestRefreshTokenAsync(rt).Result;

            if (!tokenResult.IsError)
            {
                var oldIdToken = filterContext.HttpContext.Authentication.GetTokenAsync("id_token").Result;
                var newAccessToken = tokenResult.AccessToken;
                var newRefreshToken = tokenResult.RefreshToken;

                var tokens = new List
                {
                    new AuthenticationToken {Name = OpenIdConnectParameterNames.IdToken, Value = oldIdToken},
                    new AuthenticationToken
                    {
                        Name = OpenIdConnectParameterNames.AccessToken,
                        Value = newAccessToken
                    },
                    new AuthenticationToken
                    {
                        Name = OpenIdConnectParameterNames.RefreshToken,
                        Value = newRefreshToken
                    }
                };

                var expiresAt = DateTime.Now + TimeSpan.FromSeconds(tokenResult.ExpiresIn);
                tokens.Add(new AuthenticationToken
                {
                    Name = "expires_at",
                    Value = expiresAt.ToString("o", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
                });

                var info = filterContext.HttpContext.Authentication.GetAuthenticateInfoAsync("Cookies").Result;
                info.Properties.StoreTokens(tokens);
                filterContext.HttpContext.Authentication.SignInAsync("Cookies", info.Principal, info.Properties);
            }
        }
    }
}

Usage:

[Authorize]
[TokenFilter]
public class HomeController : Controller
{}
