I have this error popping up sometimes, it does not seem to affect anything and goes away after a while. I took it to the dealer once, but they weren't able to "duplicate the error" and didn't d=find anything wrong with the truck.

Over the following weeks i was able to observe that this error happens out only when the truck is sitting in the sun in the parking lot, and the temperature shown on the dash is over 80F, as seen the attached pics

don't know ... never used the other one :)
i guess I will have to try it ....
I’d suggest you try it while you’re still in warranty. My second fob for my 2021 doesn’t work. I don’t know if it ever did. BUT…I never checked it until well after my warranty was long gone.

When in doubt always read the owners manual ..



Key System Error:
See Owner’s Manual



After the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, this warning appears for a period
of time and then turns off.

The Key System Error message warns of a
malfunction with the Intelligent Key system. If the warning appears while
the engine is stopped, it may be impossible to start the engine.

If the warning appears while the engine is
running, you can drive the vehicle. However,
in these cases, have the system checked. It
is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

Maybe a simple software update through the OBD port, worst case your engine immobilizer is bricked, if's it not under warranty get ready to cry.
