Do API keys expire on their own?

You choose when you create a key, in the Expires field:

The keys list in Console › API keys shows "until <date>" for expiring keys. After expiry, Model API calls with the key answer 401 expired_api_key; nothing else on your account changes.

Which to choose: shorter is safer, because a leaked key stops working on its own. For long-running servers, pick 1 year and plan a rotation before the date (rotate without downtime). Use Never only if you rotate keys another way.

Good to know#

• Your key's account is responsible for your end users' text under the Abuse policy. What it means for apps
• Each key has its own limit: 10, 30 (default), 60 or 120 requests per minute. Rate limits
• New accounts get $5 of free credit; top up from $1 to $800 per purchase in Console › Billing › Credits. Billing
