Correct answer & explanation
✓
They have a TTL that must be set at creation
Batch tokens in Vault are designed to be lightweight, non-renewable tokens that must have a Time-To-Live (TTL) set at creation. They are not renewable, meaning once they expire, they cannot be renewed or extended. This makes them ideal for short-lived, high-volume workloads where token lifecycle management is automated.
