How to and should I reuse an SDK client between different API routes?

Question

I am using an Node SDK client for Brevo inside of my api routes. I have different routes responsible for handling sending different email. I am wondering if I can and if it is a good practise to reuse a Brevo client between those routes or just create client each time the endpoints are called.
