+Enhanced max_active_keys setup
+------------------------------
+
+Rotating keys too frequently, or with ``[fernet_tokens] max_active_keys`` set too low,
+will cause tokens to become invalid prior to their expiration. As tokens may be fetched
+beyond their initial expiration period, keys should not be fully rotated within the
+period of ``[token] expiration`` + ``[token] allow_expired_window`` seconds to prevent the
+tokens becoming unavailable. As an example, the max_active_keys default value can be
+adjusted according to the following specified values:
+``[token] allow_expired_window`` = 86400 (24 hours)
+``[token] expiration`` = 3600 (1 hour)
+rotation_frequency = 1 (1 hour)
+``[fernet_token]max_active_keys`` = (24 + 1)/1 + 2 = 27
