## TokenManager.pacedRequestToken() method

Paces requests to requestToken().

This method pseudo-serializes requests for an access\_token when the current token is undefined or expired. The first caller to this method records its `requestTime` and then issues the token request. Subsequent callers will check the `requestTime` to see if a request is active (has been issued within the past 60 seconds), and if so will queue their promise for the active requestor to resolve when that request completes.

**Signature:**

```typescript
protected pacedRequestToken(): Promise<any>;
```
**Returns:**

Promise&lt;any&gt;
