# Remove a profile from a job-change monitor

> Stop checking one profile while preserving its event history. Rate limit: 120 requests per fixed minute per API key, shared by all job-change monitor endpoints.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Job-change monitoring requires a **V2 workspace API key**. V1 (Bubble) API keys are not supported by these endpoints. Monitors and monitoring credits belong to the V2 workspace associated with the key.

Soft-remove one profile with its `monitor_id` and `profile_id`. The profile no longer participates in future checks, but its record and event history remain available.

> [!NOTE]
>
> To monitor the same LinkedIn URL again, call [Add profiles](https://docs.airscale.io/api-reference/job-change-monitors/profiles/add.md). Airscale creates a new profile ID and baseline instead of reusing the removed history.

The returned profile has `status: "removed"` and a `removed_at` timestamp. Removing a profile does not pause the monitor or affect its other active profiles. Removing a profile that is already removed returns `404 profile_not_found`.

## Next step

Use [List job-change events](https://docs.airscale.io/api-reference/job-change-monitors/events.md) to review the retained history.
