Why Deleted Google API Keys Keep Working: The Distributed Cache Problem

삭제한 Google API 키가 23분간 계속 작동하는 이유

Why it matters

Google's distributed API key architecture creates a hidden security window: deleting an API key doesn't immediately stop attackers from using it. For up to 23 minutes, deleted credentials continue working due to eventual consistency in cached authentication layers—a critical vulnerability for high-cost services like Gemini, transforming a standard deletion into a false sense of security.
