If you're testing, any further try to enter the API keys page will result in an error. To clear that, go to the https://<your-netbox-fqdn>/user/api-tokens/?sort= or in your User profile > Preferences click on the checkbox against the TokenTable element in the Table Configurations section and then click Save.
