# Unstaking transfer taking more than 7 days ### Troubleshoot 1. Check that you have initiated the transfer from your Staking balance to your Spot balance, not just unstaked. The 7 day unstaking queue begins after you initiate the transfer. Unstaking and transferring to Spot balance are two separate actions 2. The unstaking queue (transfer to Spot) takes exactly 7 days. As an example, if you initiate a staking to spot transfer of 100 HYPE at 08:00:00 UTC on March 11 and a transfer of 50 HYPE at 09:00:00 UTC on March 12, the 100 HYPE transfer will be finalized at 08:00:01 UTC on March 18 and the 50 HYPE transfer will be finalized at 09:00:01 UTC on March 19 It’s not possible to speed up a transfer from the staking balance to spot balance to take less than 7 days. \ Please refer to this Staking section in the Docs for more information: --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
