Azure-devops-docs: Further Clarification appreciated...

"Personal Access Token (PAT):
"... Also, as explained above, this PAT is used only at the time of registering the agent, and not for subsequent communication."
If the pat is used only at time of registration, than can i assume that expiration of the PAT OR disabling and removing the user that generated the PAT will not break the integration? (after initialization.)
