Reclaim delegated resource.

Synopsis

wallet-cli stake undelegate --receiver <address> --amount-sun <n>
                            [--resource energy|bandwidth]
                            [--dry-run | (--sign-only | --build-only) [--expiration <ms>] | --wait [--wait-timeout <ms>]] [--permission-id <n>] [options]

Description

Takes back resource you previously delegated with stake delegate. Identify the delegation by receiver + resource type; amount is the staked-TRX backing in SUN. Locked delegations cannot be reclaimed before their lock expires — see the Locked until column in stake delegated.

Reclaiming is immediate (no waiting period — the TRX was staked all along, only the resource moves back).

By default the command returns at submission; --wait blocks until confirmed. Requires an account. The master password (via --password-stdin) is needed only by the modes that sign — --dry-run and --build-only do not unlock the wallet and run without it. Watch-only accounts fail with watch_only_no_signer in a signing mode.

Options

OptionDescription
--amount-sun <string>Required. Staked-TRX amount backing the resource to reclaim, in SUN
--receiver <string>Required. Address that previously received the delegation
--resource <energy|bandwidth>Resource type to reclaim (default bandwidth)
--dry-runEstimate only, no signature/broadcast; excludes --sign-only / --build-only
--sign-onlySign without broadcasting, output the signed hex; excludes --dry-run / --build-only; pairs with --expiration
--build-onlyBuild only, output the unsigned hex; excludes --dry-run / --sign-only; pairs with --expiration
--expiration <ms>Transaction expiration in ms, up to 86400000 (24h); only with --sign-only or --build-only; omitted = node default (~60s)
--permission-id <n>Permission group to sign with (0=owner, 1=witness, 2-9=active); default 0
--wait / --wait-timeout <ms>Poll after broadcast until confirmed/failed (cap default: config waitTimeoutMs, built-in 60000)
--password-stdinMaster password from stdin

Plus the global options.

Examples

In the examples, $PW is your master password (from an environment variable, password manager, etc.), fed on stdin via --password-stdin.

Default — returns the submitted receipt:

echo "$PW" | wallet-cli stake undelegate --receiver TYzp9RbQmtAjCtyGeHb9W7GRwjDKtjUvvx --amount-sun 1000000000 --resource energy --network tron:nile --password-stdin
