You can revoke an IAM token you got earlier. You may need to do this, for example, if the token is compromised or if you are getting a new one.
To revoke an IAM token:
CLI
API
If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.
The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder through the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.
