OAuth2 client credentials

We'd like to use OAuth2 Client Credentials flow. The docs mention that this type is "is used by backend automations to make calls as the user account which created the credentials."
My question is what happens to this client credentials set if the user which created them is disabled/deleted - do credentials become invalid?
We are looking for a solution that is not tied to a specific user to be able to export the data via API to consume in our internal data warehouse.
Thanks in advance, Alex

ba_akrymskiy When dealing with any sort of account automation, we recommend creating an "Automations DO NOT DELETE" account. We then tie all automations to that account so that as people leave the organization things will still function as intended.
