Comment:

 Hello @niau and welcome to trac.

 Looking at your example, you are calling the function `remove_menu_page`
 during the `admin_init` action.
 According to
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/remove_menu_page
 /#more-information the documentation for this function], you should be
 using the `admin_menu` action instead to avoid the error.
 The `admin_init` action is too early, and the menu is not ready to be
 manipulated at this point.

 Can you try to change the hook and see if you still have the issue ?
