"Long-lived token" means API tokens for the management API (creating/
deleting zones, listing them, automating via Terraform-style flows),
not the TSIG keys for actual DNS updates. Every zone on every tier gets
its TSIG key — that's what powers the updates themselves. Free tier
manages zones via the dashboard; paid tiers add API tokens for
programmatic management.
