Notes:

Keys are valid for 365 days. Key Expiration is now deprecated.

You should only have at most 2 keys active at any one time. If you create more than 2 keys that are currently active (expiration date), you might get a return of SC=429, Too Many Requests. However, if the system detects that there are more than 2 keys that are currently active (expiration date), the system may automatically delete the older keys until there are at most 2 keys that are currently active.
