The **Expires After** field on the Generate Personal Access Token page has a new **Custom** option. Use it to pick the exact date a token expires, instead of a preset length. Choose any date from tomorrow to 1 year out; the token expires on that date at the time of day you create it. Existing tokens and integrations are unaffected.
