Lifecycle states

State Trigger What you see
Active Created with a future Expiration date Registration authenticates normally.
Expiring (30 days) 30 days before Expiration date Administrative notification template App registration expires in 30 days fires; banner surfaces per template configuration.
Expiring (7 days) 7 days before Expiration date Administrative notification template App registration expires in 7 days fires.
Expired Expiration timestamp passed Administrative notification template App registration has expired fires; persistent red API client alert banner appears at the top of every page; Expires column reads Expired. Authentication stops working.
Disabled Administrator toggles Enabled off Registration cannot authenticate even before its Expiration date.

Expiration notification timing

Expiration drives the Administrative notification category. Templates fire at three points relative to the Expiration date:

  • 30 days before expiration — App registration expires in 30 days.
  • 7 days before expiration — App registration expires in 7 days.
  • At and after expiration — App registration has expired. Expired registrations also surface as a persistent red API client alert banner on every page until the registration is renewed.

You manage the templates under Admin Center > Site Settings > Notifications > Notification templates and the per-user delivery under Admin Center > Site Settings > Notifications > Subscriptions.

Constraints

  • The Client secret is generated by the system and displayed exactly once, at the time of registration creation. The stored secret is write-only — there is no API or UI path to reveal it after the initial display. If lost, the registration must be rotated.
  • Each App registration is scoped to a single site. Cross-site access requires a separate registration per site.
  • An expired registration produces a persistent red banner per registration. With multiple expired registrations, the banners stack at the top of the dashboard and pages.
