    While I am uncertain of the specific timeframe after which the offline token expires, it does occur after a while.
  4. Verified by User:Aemony on 2020-02-08
    If a valid offline token is not present on the system the game will refuse access to the offline mode when launched through this method. Also note that if the game is found not fully up-to-date when signing in to the online mode through this method, it will refer to the Battle.net client to update the game and then terminate itself.
