Cons: The fiend will most likely immediately remove your warlock powers. It will also likely seek out your complete destruction once it gets released and the hour has passed.
Pro: If you release the fiend, you can order it to grant you permanent warlock powers.
RAI your lock powers are permanent anyways and your patron can't do anything to remove them.
Pro: rolling up a new character can be fun.
Con: It would likely be futile.
Your patron isn't just a fiend. They are outside the scope of a iron flask can reasonably succeed at pulling in if they aren't just flat out immune to something like this.
My patron is the General of Gehenna*, but he is currently either trapped or hiding in a small demi-plane. If he's trapped, I might have the tool to get him out. If he's hiding, I might have the tool to force him out.
Contract negotiations!
* I didn't know this when I made the pact. The backstory I came up with was about being tricked by an arcanaloth who I thought was going to be a celestial patron. Oops. The DM ran with that, and it's been a lot of fun, but it was recently revealed that the arcanaloth was an ultraloth. This has been a lot of fun to RP while my group does Storm King's Thunder.

My fiendlock got his hands on an Iron Flask. What do you think the pros and cons are of trapping my patron inside of it?
Cons: The fiend will most likely immediately remove your warlock powers. It will also likely seek out your complete destruction once it gets released and the hour has passed.
Pro: If you release the fiend, you can order it to grant you permanent warlock powers.
