Nodes in a distributed system utilize the same cryptographic key, where the cryptographic key is subject to a usage limit. The usage limit is allowed to be temporarily exceeded. When the usage limit is exceeded, results of exceeding the usage limit are corrected to mitigate the effects of exceeding the usage limit.
