Is asking for reassurance in a relationship insecurity?

It can be.

Asking on occasion or when you need it is normal and healthy.

However, if "when you need it" becomes overbearing and emotionally draining, that's no longer healthy and it certainly can be due to insecurity.

If you're feeling a strange need for that validation, consider where else outside your partner you can get that. Other friends, family, close mentors, etc.

It can be very draining if what you need in terms of reassurance is more than what your partner can provide.

I think it's normal, depending on how often. Everyone needs reassurance every once in a while.

No, man... come on. We all go through shit and shit partners in life. It's okay to ask for reassurance.

But, in addition to that, also focus on why you feel the need for reassurance if you want it regularly. Because no one can fix you, other than yourself.

its normal as long as its genuine and you're not weaponizing it.

Insecurity is whatever the other person deems as insecurity.

In other words this is a matter of opinion.

Depends on how often and why.

Reassurance about what?
