SQL table rename affect on Kafka connector and topic

I have a SQL table "Account" with CDC enabled and a Kafka Debezium source connector configured and the CDC changes are populating a topic. Everything working as normal. I then rename this SQL table to "Account_offline" but nothing breaks...everything works as normal. I can only assume the connector is linked to the internal SQL table ID which is perfect. There is no issue here but I want confirmation that this outcome is on purpose or by design and will not be changed in future implementations.
