24-hour scheduled account deletion

Deleting an account schedules it 24 hours out, shows a ticking countdown everywhere the account appears, and stays cancellable until the timer runs down.

What it is

A two-step confirmation (yes/no, then type the exact words 'delete account') that stamps a deletion time rather than deleting anything. The account leaves the client list immediately and lives only under the 'Scheduled deletion' filter with a live countdown. An hourly job performs the actual teardown once the stamp is 24 hours old.

The red type-to-confirm dialog beside the roster row showing 'Deletes in 23h 41m 12s' ticking. Sample data — no customer information appears here.
How it works
  1. 1Step one is a plain yes/no; step two requires typing 'delete account' exactly, and the button stays dead until it matches.
  2. 2The account is stamped, hidden from the normal list, and shown with a banner on every tab: 'executes in 6h 12m'.
  3. 3One Cancel deletion button clears the stamp at any point in the window.
  4. 4After 24 hours the job runs the full teardown — subscription cancelled, integration sub-account deleted, sign-in unlinked, account data wiped, signup archived.
  5. 5The teardown is idempotent: a partial failure leaves the rest for the next pass.
Why we built it

Deletion used to be immediate, which makes a mis-click unrecoverable and makes an angry-Monday cancellation permanent. The dialog copy states the contract to the operator: 'the tenant moves to the "Scheduled deletion" list immediately, and you can abandon the action any time inside the window.' The nested-Escape guard in the modal names the worst case it protects against — 'mid-run wipe migration'.

The problem
  • An immediate delete has no undo, and account deletion is exactly where a mis-click is unrecoverable.
  • A half-finished teardown left orphaned subscriptions and integration sub-accounts.

What you get
A full day to change your mind, with the exact time remaining on screen.
When it does run, everything goes — billing, integrations, data — not just the login.
A failed step is retried rather than silently skipped.
