Hi @Jay Shah ,

Welcome to the community!

The length of API tokens on Atlassian Cloud is a security feature that you have no control over. It also makes sense, as it reduces the risk of the tokens being guessed (ex. someone using a brute-force attack). In most cases this is a welcome thing and you should try to make it work.

However, if you really need an alternative, there is an app you could try called API Key Manager for Jira.

Just a few notes on that app: While the API keys you can create with this app are somewhat shorter than Atlassian's API tokens are, they are by no means short. They also can be scoped very narrowly by endpoint and http verb.

Please also note that I work for Polymetis Apps and therefore I am slightly biased here. 

Hope that helps,
