## What happened?

You tried to revoke or roll an API key that has already been revoked. This is a conflict error because the requested action has already been performed.

## How to fix

1. **Check the key status**. The key may have been revoked by another team member or through a previous request.
2. **Create a new key** if you need a replacement. Use the dashboard or the admin API.
