::::{note}
When an API key is nearing expiration, Elastic sends an email to the creator of the API key and each of the operational contacts. When you use an API key to authenticate, the API response header `X-Elastic-Api-Key-Expiration` indicates the key’s expiration date. You can log this value to detect API keys that are nearing expiration.
