Once you have a PAG you will always have a pag. There is no way to
"drop a PAG". Getting tokens (with or without a PAG) works the same
way -- you run klog, or kinit + aklog, or kinit + afslog, or one of
the miriad of other commands.
If you use "klog -setpag" then it will get you tokens AND give you a
new PAG.

The same lifetime. The tokens are the same, regardless of whether you
use a PAG or not. They are STILL stored in the kernel. They will NOT
go away if your processes exit (neither will tokens in a PAG). They
will hopefully get garbage collected later on (like after they
expire), but that assumes the GC is running and working properly.

Yes.
