Answer 1

It sounds like your Direct Line secret has expired, assuming you are trying to hit https://directline.botframework.com/v3/directline/tokens/generate. You can regenerate them by going to the Bot Service blade, selecting your Bot Service, and then clicking on Channels. Click Edit on your Direct Line channel and you'll have the option to regenerate your key(s).
