VA-003 Assess Vault tokens Practice Question
Which TWO statements about batch tokens are true?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common misconception is that batch tokens are fully featured like service tokens, but they lack support for explicit max TTL, renewal, and individual revocation, making them suitable only for specific use cases.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
They are lightweight and support a high creation rate.
Batch tokens are designed to be lightweight and support a high creation rate, ideal for ephemeral workloads. Option B is correct because batch tokens cannot be used with a use-limit; use-limits are only supported by service tokens. Options C, D, and E are incorrect: batch tokens do not support explicit max TTL (C), they do not have a TTL as they derive their lifetime from the parent token (D), and they are not renewable (E).
