How long before you can unstake SUI from your wallet?
I've just staked my SUI on the SUI wallet and I'm wondering how long I have to wait before I can unstake it. Could you explain the timeframe or requirements for unstaking SUI coins?

2If you've just staked your SUI tokens, you’ll need to wait at least one epoch before you can unstake them. An epoch on the Sui blockchain typically lasts about 24 hours , though the exact duration can vary slightly depending on network activity and other factors.
This waiting period ensures that the staking process remains stable and prevents frequent or abusive unstaking. Once the epoch has passed, you can initiate the unstaking process, and your tokens will typically be available shortly after that.
It’s worth noting that while some platforms or wallets might allow instant unstaking under specific conditions, the general rule for SUI is the one-epoch waiting period. Always check the current epoch status or consult the official Sui documentation if you’re unsure about timing.
If you’ve just staked, you’ll need to wait at least one epoch before you can unstake.
