Connected Cloudflare API token never expires

Part of the Workers, Pages & API tokens check · fix arrives as a guide

What it is

The connected Cloudflare API token is configured never to expire.

Why it matters

A token with no expiry is a permanent grant. If it leaks through a log, a config file, or a former team member's machine, it stays valid indefinitely and nothing forces a review.

How to fix it

Reissue the token with an expiry — 90 days is a reasonable default — scoped to the minimum permissions needed, and set a calendar reminder ahead of the expiry so rotation is not an outage.
