I'm pretty sure that in petrol i10s if the wrong code is put in it's key in ignition OFF for 1 hour
On for diesel

From the link here: https://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/showthread.php/642546-Hyundai-is-not-starting-after-wrong-pincode/page2
The words of Rapid:
is it diesel or petrol
as on smartra models when ecu is locked ,
diesel is ignition on for 1 hour to reset
petrol models is ignition off for 1 hour to reset
so if petrol model , 1 hour with ignition off may reset it and restore original key to working

Tried ignition off almost 2 hours
Have got another code that I suspect is the right code now but if ECU is locked I don’t think it will program key

Immo light not flashing so don’t think key is knocked out no immo light at all
On Kia and Hyundai usually no immo light when turn with not programed key
Immo light come when the car recognise the keys
So I think that the keys are deleted
but also think that is not possible to delete the keys if the pin code is wrong
And finally I think that the pin code is OK just the car can't take the keys - Maybe weak transponder - try to program the transponder separatly close to the ring
I program on them XH super chip generated ID47 new 7938 chip

if you bought pin then you will have got the key code as well , does keycode match the key you traced ? if yes then if key code correct i suspect pin is also correct .
you entered key programming , you attempted to program original and new key using pin supplied , i assume you have the correct key if the flip key with pcf7938 hitag3 chip part 95430-B9500 ?
have you tried to code back just the original key on its own ?
have you read both the original key and the new key to ensure that chips are same ?
was pin accepted , by programmer , or did it display wrong pin ?
if wrong pin it wouldnt just knock original key out as you havnt started key programming procedure with wrong pin. you wouldnt normally lock ecu unless you enter wrong pin 3 times .
have you tried a different programmer with the pin you have to rule out any issue with your programmer ?

KIA HYUNDAI Immo light:
When key is good and recognised by system: Light ON
Bad key: Light OFF
When engine start, immo light go OFF.
If ignition OFF for 1H not work, try ON for 45 minutes.

Holy sh@t
Thanks for all replies
Code was defo wrong got new code and key cut matches
Tried TDB twice and SP once with wrong code and both tools said wrong pin
Car was starting with factory ori key so I suspect locked ECU
Ignition off didn’t work so I’ll try ignition on tomorrow hopefully this will let me in
Yes Rapid new chip same as ori key
Broke the cardinal rule didn’t research this one as busy totally my fault on this didn’t realise 3 tries with wrong pin would lock me out.

happens , we have all been there .
when you go back , turn on with original key first in case ign off all night has cleared it.
