# Withdraw/Unstake a delegation

If you decide to stop delegating or take a break from staking, you can initiate the unstaking process at any time. Unstaking begins a 21-day unbonding period, after which your staked DAG — along with any accrued rewards — is automatically returned to your wallet with no fees.

**1. Unstake DAG**

* Go to **"My Delegations"** in your wallet or staking dashboard.

* Click **"Unstake"** and confirm the transaction.

* Once confirmed, your position enters a 21-day unbonding period.
* During this time, the tokens remain locked and cannot be used or restaked.

**3. Automatic return to wallet**

* After 21 days, your initial stake and any accrued rewards will be automatically returned to your wallet.
* There are no fees for unstaking or receiving your tokens.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.constellationnetwork.io/network-intro/dag-delegation/managing-delegated-positions/withdraw-unstake-a-delegation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
