title: Could not able to access the kubernetes API after deleting the default-token
body: <p>I am facing the issue when I delete the <code>default-token</code> secret of service account.</p>
  
  <p>Kubernetes automatically mounts the <code>deafult-token</code> into the pod spec so that you can access its API.</p>
  
  <pre><code>volumes:
  - name: default-token-hh98h
    secret:
      defaultMode: 420
      secretName: default-token-xxx
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now when I delete the secret <code>default-token-xxx</code>, kubernetes automatically creates new <code>default-token-yyy</code>, but that token doesn't reflect in the pod spec. If I restart the pods then the new token takes effect.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to refresh the <code>default-token</code> secret without deleting the pod?</p>
