Get storage settings

Returns the account-level storage lifecycle settings applied to newly uploaded fal CDN files:

expiration_duration_seconds: how long files live before being automatically deleted (null disables auto-expiration).
initial_acl: the default ACL applied to new uploads (null means the system default, which is public).

Both fields are null when the account has never saved settings.

Authentication: Required. The API key must have the account:settings:read permission.
