# Configuring Expiration Reminders

To prevent service disruption from unexpected key expiration, Treasure AI sends automated reminders to API key owners.

1. Navigate to **Control Panel** > **Security** > **API Keys**.
2. Under **Reminder Settings**, enter the number of days before expiration to send the reminder.
3. Save the configuration.


## Reminder Schedule

- **Primary reminder** — Sent to the key owner via email at a configurable number of days before expiration (default: 30 days).
- **Console notification** — A banner notification appears in the key owner's console when keys are nearing expiration.


## Configuring Reminder Timing (Administrators)

Administrators can adjust when the first expiration reminder is sent:

- 30 (default) or other days before expiration
- Custom number of days (must be 90 days or less)


If an API key's total lifespan is shorter than the configured reminder period (e.g., a 14-day key with 30-day reminders), the reminder is sent immediately upon key creation.

## Best Practices

- **Monitor expiration reminders** and replace keys promptly to avoid service disruption.
- **Plan key rotation** ahead of time — don't wait for the reminder to start updating your integrations.
- **Verify notification delivery** — ensure the email address associated with your account is current.
