Maximum personal access token lifetime now 730 days (two years)

December 5, 2024

The default maximum lifetime for newly created Databricks-issued personal access tokens is now set to 730 days (two years). Previously, personal access tokens could be created with no expiration by default. With this update, users cannot generate new tokens with a lifetime exceeding 730 days, and tokens created without a specified lifetime are set to a 730-day duration. If you configured the maximum token lifetime for your workspace to less than 730 days, the configuration remains unchanged. See Monitor and revoke personal access tokens and Databricks personal access token authentication.
