SummaryAI, from the source post

Introduces mandatory expiry for newly created access tokens in Bitbucket Cloud, with configurable durations (90, 180, 365 days) set by workspace admins. Allows admins to optionally permit tokens without expiry. This change aims to reduce the risk of data breaches by ensuring regular token rotation.
