If your exchange API keys expire or when you may experience an error message, such as Invalid API Keys, the best solution is to update your saved API keys for the linked exchange account.
If the exchange supports Fast Connect feature (Binance, Coinbase Advanced, OKX, Bybit, etc), update the API connection with the Fast Connect option!
First, delete the old API keys on your exchange, and update the connection using Fast Connect (Reconnect) feature. All articles in this collection have information about how to update the connection with Fast Connect.
⚠️Coinbase Advanced exception!⚠️
Coinbase Advanced users do NOT need to delete the previous API key on the exchange account, you can simply click on "Update API key" and proceed to reconnect the account using Fast Connect!
This article explains how to connect Coinbase Advanced to 3Commas using Fast Connet:
It is essential that you update your EXISTING API connection and you don't create a new connection of the same exchange account to 3Commas!
If you delete the old API connection on 3Commas, you'll lose your DCA bots, SmartTrades, trading history, and statistics, and it will disrupt active trades you may have open!
If your DCA bot's trades have a status Error ("Invalid API keys") and you update the existing API connection, your bots' trades most likely WILL NOT BE INTERRUPTED, and they will remain active after the update. If the trades are FAILED, then you will have to recreate them into the Smart Sell or Smart Buy trade (article).
Also, if the API keys expire, SmartTrades will fail, and you will need to recreate them too (article), just take information about the trade from the SmartTrade History page.
The following errors will require you to update your linked exchange account with a new API:
Exchange account is banned;
API key is invalid;
API keys are no longer valid or incorrect;
Errors like [2000003919];
Suppose you receive errors like [2000003919] and an error description. In that case, this is the message from Binance exchange, and it's necessary to contact Binance's support to find out the exact reason for this limitation.
To solve this problem, try to edit your API keys, disable Futures trading permission, and refresh the exchange on the My Portfolio page.
