+GitLab service re-connection required
+=====================================
+
+Some `months ago`_ GitLab started enforcing an expiration time of two hours for all of their OAuth tokens.
+
+.. _months ago: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/86362
+
+Unfortunately `this broke`_ the integration with our application,
+so your OAuth tokens may have expired.
+OAuth tokens are used to interact with the GitLab API,
+for reporting the status of merge requests, creating webhooks, and listing repositories.
+In order for Read the Docs to have access to new fresh tokens,
+you need to re-connect your GitLab account.
+You can do this by:
+
+- Going to your RTD account settings
+- Click on ``Connected services``
+- Click on ``Connect to GitLab``
+
+Or by following the link:
+
+- https://readthedocs.org/accounts/gitlab/login/?process=connect
+- Or https://readthedocs.com/accounts/gitlab/login/?process=connect
+  if you are using Read the Docs for Business.
+
+We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
