Home Assistant map: "API KEY REQUIRED" watermark from CARTO

Good question, and their tile usage policy is aimed at exactly that. A wall panel redrawing every few seconds is the shape it warns about. One household is noise. A few hundred thousand installations is not, which is why swapping providers is a bigger decision than it looks from one dashboard.

Home Assistant map: "API KEY REQUIRED" watermark from CARTO

For the built-in map, updating is the whole answer: the frontend changed the tile source, so the watermark leaves with it. No key to paste, nothing to configure. While you are pinned, the map still functions and the watermark is only ugly. Not worth a custom card or a tile proxy for a week.
