title: 2040: Too many active secrets. | API Docs
description: The endpoint already holds the maximum number of active secrets.

**HTTP status:** `409`.

An endpoint may hold up to five active signing secrets at once and this one is full. Nothing was added.

## Troubleshooting

- Retire a secret with the retire operation, then add the new one; a rotation needs two active secrets at most.
