Explanation

Periodic rekeying is an advanced encryption feature available starting with the Enterprise edition. It automatically re-encrypts micro-partitions with a new encryption key on a rolling basis (approximately every 30 days), ensuring that even if an old key were ever compromised, historical data would already be protected by newer keys. Standard edition accounts have encryption at rest but do not get this automatic key rotation. Business Critical and Virtual Private Snowflake also support it, but Enterprise is the minimum required tier.
