Misleading message when API key is expired

[ethanstrominger]

Describe the bug
When api key is expired I get a 401 the response error message says "Authentication credentials were not provided". The tests in djangorestframework-api-key expect 403. Is there some configuration I can do?

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add an API Key record and set expiration date to the future.
2. Create an API which uses [HasApiKey]
3. Call the API from client code with the key created in step 1. It will succeed.
4. Modify the API key expiration date to be
5. Call the API from client code again. As expected, it will fail, but with a status code of 403, error message is misleading: Authentication credentials were not provided. This is misleading, as the credentials were provided and does not match test results from djangorestframework-api-key.

is this library still supported? 🤔

Hey @AlekefromKz -- hardly!

I don't use it myself anymore and I don't have much time to dedicate to volunteer open source anymore.

I will post a quick pinned issue for maintainer seeking, waiting for another message on the README perhaps.

Greetings!
