What is the expected outcome of performing an action that uses an API token in Okta?

Using an API token in Okta serves a specific purpose related to authentication and authorization for interactions with the Okta API. When an API token is generated, it is associated with a specific application or account and enables programmatic access to the Okta services.

The expected outcome of performing an action that uses an API token is to prevent the token from expiring during its intended use. API tokens in Okta are typically designed to remain valid until they are explicitly revoked. This allows for continuous access without interruptions, provided that the token has not been compromised or manually invalidated. Thus, employing an API token efficiently aids in maintaining ongoing authenticated sessions with the Okta API, enabling automated tasks and interactions to continue without unnecessary interruptions due to token expiration.

In contrast, the other options involve actions or consequences that aren't typically a direct result of API token usage. For example, using an API token does not inherently increase security alerts—it is designed to facilitate actions at a secure level when used correctly. Additionally, API tokens do not require re-authorization for each action; they are valid until revoked or expired based on the policy set. Lastly, using an API token does not reset the client ID; instead, it utilizes the existing client ID associated with the token for
