I think this is pretty good (I wrote parts of it) but it still lacks everything (mobile use cases, custom scopes, token lifetime): https://fusionauth.io/learn/expert-advice/oauth/modern-guide...

I found these resources helpful:

* Solving Identity Management in Modern Applications" walks through the identity life cycle in detail, from initial provisioning to deprovisioning. Concepts, standards, not a lot of code. Lots of focus on the workforce use cases (rather than customer). But still great: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4842-5095-2

* "OAuth2 in Action", in contrast, builds an OAuth and OIDC server in JS, from scratch, so has lots and lots of code. Great section on tokens, and covers stuff beyond the standard OAuth grants, such as dynamic client registration. https://www.manning.com/books/oauth-2-in-action

* Podcast episode about OAuth with the author of "OAuth2 in Action" https://www.se-radio.net/2019/08/episode-376-justin-richer-o...
