## What happens after removing a service account?

After removing a service account, the profile disappears from your API Access overview. All related API keys stop working immediately. External platforms using these credentials can no longer access your workspace data.

## Troubleshooting

### Delete icon is missing

This is caused by a temporary display rendering delay. You should refresh the web page to fix the interface layout.

### Account fails to delete

This happens because of a temporary server synchronization lag. You need to wait a few seconds and submit the request again.
