A user I was supporting in the past disabled their previous TDE Protector key in keyvault after rotating it. This caused their database to become unavailable following the rotation. Earlier in the doc it is advised that old backups and log files may still require access to the old key and to keep it active until sys.dm_db_log_info shows it's no longer in use, but this !important text box only mentions not to delete it. Adding a clarification to keep it active would help avoid similar situations.
