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.
By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

Check out the description of the IAM token revocation command:

Run an http request specifying the IAM token to revoke:
curl \
--request POST \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <IAM_token>" \
--data '{
"iamToken": "<IAM_token>"
}' \
