# Unlinking a worker account from an operator account

An operator account is only allowed to link with a single worker account at a time. Unlinking allows you to generate a new worker account or import another worker account that can be linked with the same operator.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Unlinking will stop your worker node from casting votes
{% endhint %}
