# Unbond Tokens

{% hint style="info" %}
There currently is in place a *21* days unbonding rule, during which no rewards are handed out.
{% endhint %}

If for any reason the validator misbehaves, or you just want to unbond a certain amount of tokens, use this following command.

```bash
secretcli tx staking unbond \
  <validator-address> \
  10uscrt \
  --from=<key-alias> \
  --chain-id=<chain-id>
```

The unbonding will be automatically completed when the unbonding period has passed.

## 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.scrt.network/secret-network-documentation/infrastructure/running-a-node-validator/maintaining-a-node-validator/delegation/unbond-tokens.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.
