The aim of this paper is to argue that some day in the not-too-distant future one of the well-known X-ray pulsars, say, Cen X-3 (although better examples would be probably GX 301-2 or GX 1+4), will disappear from the X-ray sky. It will reappear again after some, say, tens of years and its pulse period will be then longer than it is now.
