Use the [`influxctl token revoke` command](/influxdb3/clustered/reference/cli/influxctl/token/revoke/)to revoke a database token from your InfluxDB cluster and disable
all permissions associated with the token.

1. If you haven’t already, [download and install the `influxctl` CLI](/influxdb3/clustered/reference/cli/influxctl/#download-and-install-influxctl).

2. Run the [`influxctl token list` command](/influxdb3/clustered/reference/cli/influxctl/token/list)to output tokens with their IDs.
   Copy the **token ID** of the token you want to delete.

   ```
   influxctl token list
   ```

3. Run the `influxctl token revoke` command and provide the following:

   * Token ID to revoke

4. Confirm that you want to revoke the token.

```sh
influxctl token revoke TOKEN_ID
```

#### Revoking a token is immediate and cannot be undone

Revoking a database token is a destructive action that takes place immediately
and cannot be undone.

#### Rotate revoked tokens

After revoking a database token, any clients using the revoked token need to
be updated with a new database token to continue to interact with your
InfluxDB cluster.
