In short, if the refresh token is still valid it is a better option than starting over. This is because it avoids repeatedly passing the user credentials back and forth. If the refresh token is expired, we will need to restart the process and send the user credentials using the password grant. However, with the refresh grant we can do that less frequently, because the refresh token has a much longer time before it expires, compared to the access token.
