Duplicate #24269. Please test PR #24461, but it is for J4 and will not be fixed in J3.

It’s a display issue, the account isn’t actually deactivated. I’m pretty sure this conversation was had before here on GitHub but basically the token is stored in the database in the same column as the activation token so the UI can’t distinguish the state/intent.
