 - **How can I rotate my keys?** Customer-managed keys aren't automatically rotated unless the [key is versionless with an appropriate key rotation policy set within Key Vault](/azure/key-vault/keys/how-to-configure-key-rotation). To manually rotate the key, update the Key Identifier that the account is associated with.
 - **After I restore access how long will it take for the Batch account to work again?** It can take up to 10 minutes for the account to be accessible again once access is restored.
 - **While the Batch Account is unavailable what happens to my resources?** Any pools that are active when Batch access to the customer-managed key is lost will continue to run. However, the nodes in these pools will transition into an unavailable state, and tasks will stop running (and be requeued). Once access is restored, nodes become available again, and tasks are restarted.
