My Iphone has been lost/stolen. I've gone through the procedures on Find my Iphone to mark it lost and erase, which is pending, once it gets internet. I've changed all passwords including apple ID. My concern is, if I log out appeID from other devices, will it be able to complete erase or find my Iphone? Also, should I logout from appleID on my Iphone even after changing the password?
iPhone 12 mini, iOS 16
Leave the phone in Lost Mode and NEVER remove it from your account. The moment you remove the phone from your account, you won't ever be able to track it if it powers on and connects to a network. Even worse, if you remove the phone from your account, you'll be giving whoever has your phone the ability to wipe it and set it up to use. Finally, contact your carrier and ask them to Blacklist the phone, so no one can ever connect it to a carrier.

Find your lost iPhone or iPad with Find My - Apple Support
- Note that if you remotely erase your device as instructed in this article, if you subsequently remove it from your account as in this article --> Check your Apple ID device list to find where you're signed in - Apple Support , then according to this article --> How to remove Activation Lock - Apple Support you remove activation lock from the device. That means if it was stolen, then a finder or thief now has a working device that can be used by another person.
If you remove the device from your account the other person can freely use the device as their own. There is no reason to log out of other devices.
