    *Token* objects are returned by the :meth:`ContextVar.set` method.
    They can be passed to the :meth:`ContextVar.reset` method to revert
    the value of the variable to what it was before the corresponding
-   *set*.
+   *set*. A single token cannot reset a context variable more than once.
 
    Tokens support the :ref:`context manager protocol <context-managers>`
    to automatically reset context variables. See :meth:`ContextVar.set`.
