What is a valid method to prevent an Okta API token from expiring after 30 days?

The correct answer is based on Okta's token lifecycle management practices. When an API token is issued, it typically has a predefined expiration period, often set to 30 days for security reasons. However, certain actions can refresh or extend the validity of an existing token, provided the token is still active and valid. By performing actions that require the use of the API, you may inadvertently keep the session or token active, as some APIs may include mechanisms to refresh or renew tokens based on usage.

In contrast, resetting the API token regularly doesn't prevent its expiration; it just replaces an existing token with a new one. Increasing the expiration period may not be an option depending on the organization's security policy, as many organizations prefer to maintain a short expiration duration for security reasons. Sharing an API token with another admin not only undermines security best practices but doesn’t actually extend the validity of the token itself. Thus, the best approach offered here focuses on active engagement with the API to maximize the token's lifecycle.
