I can say that recently LinkedIn has asked me to reauthenticate on multiple occasions in the same session. I've had the same for Google but I have not tried recently. I'm aware that Twitter and Facebook allow you to do so, but I propose that none of the above give scopes without authentication that allow you to perform actions that charge an account.

That said, I agree that some of the giants are fine with using cookies for auth in OAuth2. And while that indicates that this is a possible use case, OAuth2 is capable of being used in many ways and Digital Ocean's usage still doesn't make much sense.
