Hello,

With doctl you could do the following:

Initialize doctl to use the new token:

doctl auth init

List available authentication contexts:

doctl auth list

Remove authentication context that you do not need:

doctl auth remove

Switches to the new authentication context:

doctl auth switch

Then finally you can use the following command to get the new Kubernetes config yaml:

doctl kubernetes cluster kubeconfig save

Hope that this helps. Best, Bobby
