Pat vs. API Key

As a developer, do you prefer Personal Access Tokens or API Keys when working with REST APIs? Looking for pros and cons of both. Thanks!

PAT are tied to users, api keys to an team or organization.

    Pats are good for apps tied to users: cli, gui clients, ...

    Api keys and similar are better for services that are long running and should not go down: websites, backends that require access to other services.
