How do I unstake SUI from a validator after staking?

Hey everyone! So, I just staked 20 SUI on the mainnet with a validator called 'faucet' to get testnet SUI, but I'm kinda stuck here. Can anyone tell me how I can unstake it? I checked everywhere, including the faucet link and suivision, and I can't find any button or option to do it. Is there a certain time I need to wait or something? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

When you stake SUI, the tokens are locked until the end of the current epoch, which usually lasts around 24 hours. During this time, you won’t be able to unstake or move your SUI.

Once the epoch ends, the unstake option will automatically appear in your SUI Wallet under the Staking section. From there, you can proceed with unstaking your SUI from the validator (like the 'faucet' validator).

So just wait for the epoch to finish, and then you’ll be able to unstake without any issues.

After the current epoch ends, the 'Unstake' button will appear in your wallet. Just keep an eye out.

The SUI you staked is locked until the next epoch, which typically lasts around 24 hours. Once the epoch ends, you'll see an option in your wallet to unstake your SUI.
