Notes:

• The "Stop Monitoring" button in Control Center only prevents Cockpit to communicate with that player, it doesn't remove the player from that Cockpit account.
• When trying to remove a player from Cockpit and a premium player monitoring license was already assigned to that player, Cockpit will prompt you to select another player before proceeding. If that's not done, the monitoring license will be lost.
• In case of basic player monitoring (freemium), deleting a player from Cockpit may take up to 24 hours – during this period, the player cannot be added to another Cockpit account.
