You can generate a non-expiring OAuth token then pass it to the CLI via an environment variable. This is useful if you need to run Heroku CLI commands indefinitely from a scheduler and you don't want the login to expire. Do it like this (these are not actual Tokens and IDs, BTW):

$ heroku authorizations:create
Creating OAuth Authorization... done
Client:      
ID:          80fad839-876b-4ea0-a41e-6a9a2fb0cf97
Description: Long-lived user authorization
Scope:       global
Token:       ddf4a0e5-9294-4c5f-8820-b51c52fce4f9

Get the token (not the ID) from that authorization and pass that it to your CLI:

$ HEROKU_API_KEY='ddf4a0e5-9294-4c5f-8820-b51c52fce4f9' heroku run ls --app my-app
Running ls on ⬢ my-app... up, run.2962 (Hobby)
