The token is shown only once during generation." The token is a long string starting with AstraCS:... Automation that provisions Astra DB tokens must write the token to the secret store in the same step as generation, before doing anything else. If a token is lost, generate a replacement and rotate the stored value rather than hunting for the old one.
