Does the meaning of the Hadith "Indeed, a servant may be deprived of provision because of a sin he commits" imply that the servant will never be provided for?

The meaning of the is a decrease in sustenance or the removal of blessings from it. A person may be deprived of their sustenance due to a sin they commit, as stated in the hadith of Thawban: "Indeed, a servant is deprived of sustenance because of a sin he commits." Cutting off sustenance means a decrease in its blessings or a restriction upon it, not cutting off the original source of sustenance.
