To switch your delegator, you must first unstake your SUI tokens from the current validator. Once the unstaking process is complete, you can then stake your tokens with a new validator. Unstake is instant.

No, you can’t directly switch your SUI delegation from one validator to another. To change validators, you must unstake your tokens first, then redelegate them to the new validator. Because Sui has instant unstaking, you can unstake and immediately restake in the same epoch, but rewards will only start accruing with the new validator from the next epoch.
