CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 8

A developer is no longer able to access a public cloud API deployment, which was working ten minutes prior. Which of the following is MOST likely the cause?

Answer options

• A. API provider rate limiting
• B. Invalid API token
• C. Depleted network bandwidth
• D. Invalid API request

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The most likely cause is an Invalid API token, as tokens can expire or be revoked, leading to loss of access. The other options, while possible, are less likely; for example, rate limiting affects excessive requests, depleted bandwidth would impact all network activity, and an invalid request would typically return an error rather than completely block access.
