 ### Getting an anonymous access token
 
+The SDK returns a cached token when still fresh and renews it when the access token expires. If the session itself is expired or invalid, `getTokenSilently()` throws an `AnonymousSessionError` — catch it and call `createSession()` to start a new session.
+
 ```jsx
-import { useAuth0 } from '@auth0/auth0-react';
+import { useAuth0, AnonymousSessionError } from '@auth0/auth0-react';
 
 function ApiButton() {
   const { anonymous } = useAuth0();

 ### Explicit anonymous session creation with metadata
 
 Call `anonymous.createSession()` directly to attach metadata at creation time.
