Hi, I'm using API key (barer token) V1 for my builds, and I have a question about the default duration of that key. Does it expire, and when? Can I set an expiration date? Also, I have noticed that sometimes when I visit the API key page (https://ci.appveyor.com/api-keys), it generates a new token.

    Hi Tibor,

    Tokens do not have expiration. However, if it's account-specific token and user membership has changed (like user was removed/added to account) then the token will be re-generated. For persistent tokens use v2 (global) tokens.
