OAuth permissions
Disconnecting a calendar in On-Call Optimizer will delete all credentials to the calendar held by On-Call Optimizer and prevent any further attempts to read the calendar by On-Call Optimizer, however the OAuth grant of permissions remains in place on the Google side even though it can no longer by utilized by On-Call Optimizer.
For completeness you may want to also visit your Google Account Connections Page and revoke any permissions grants for On-Call Optimizer.
