OAuth2 "invalid_grant" "The authorization code has expired"

Level 1

I'm trying to go through the OAuth2 flow as described here https://marketing.adobe.com/developer/documentation/authentication-1/auth-web-server-1

When I get to the final step of exchanging the authorization code for an access token I'm receiving a response with a http status code of 400 with an error of invalid_grant and an error_description of "The authorization code has expired" even though I using the authorization code within at most a couple of minutes of getting it. I'm posting to https://api.omniture.com/token with "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8" and a body of "client_id=f77aa38da2-spredfasttestapplication&client_secret=XXXX&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fdevbox.spredfast.com%2Fcredential%2Fomniture&grant_type=authorization_code&code=eb0141c5b1110c75d4f72598572595307b9fa2a1"

Logging output is

Any suggestions for what's causing this.

Turns out it had expired. You have to be very quick using the authorization code. Even waiting a minute seems to be too long.
