Hello PallaviReddy
The easiest way to avoid this issue is to not go on holiday 🙂
But there is an alternative, first you should use a fine-grained token (according to microsoft doc)use a GitHub Service Account (Bot Account) with a generic email address like: [email protected]
Then generate the PAT from this account with the longer expiry date
Now all of your team member has to connect their workspace using that shared PAT
The benefits of this approach:
- PAT is not tied to any individual's vacation/departure
- Expiry is predictable and can be rotated by anyone with access to the bot account
- Auditable and revocable independently of any person

5 months agoHi. In addition to what Cookistador is saying, we manage and excel of keys names and expiration date. We have a power bi connected to that with alerts. So when you are two weeks before an expire, it alerts the team. The rest, I agree with my fellow answer.
I hope that helps,
