It would be nice to have an option to extend the current expire date of an API

Otherwise i need to create a complicated rollover to keep track of an valid API token

I dont think it makes sense to be able to edit the expiration date, as its a security measure to rotate keys like this.

Could you explain more the use case, and why rotating the api key wont work?

i just need to write cronjobs for that (to renew and to restart application which use that keys e.g. the portal) ...
but that is more complicated with new keys, then to extends to current key just a week longer ...

I agree with @kmendell. Why not just create an API key that expires in 100 years, if you don't care about the security risks?
