# Unstake and Withdraw AUTO

### Unstake and Withdraw AUTO

You can manage withdrawals for your staked position directly in the app.

#### To begin a withdrawal

1. Open the staking section.
2. Select your **sAUTO** position.
3. Review the withdrawal timing and current lock status.
4. Submit the withdrawal request when your position becomes eligible.

#### To complete a withdrawal

Once the unlock process is complete, return to the app and finalize the withdrawal to receive your **AUTO** back in your wallet.

> **Helpful note**\
> The exact timing of when you can request or complete a withdrawal depends on the current staking schedule shown in the app.

#### FAQ

* **Do I receive AUTO or sAUTO when I withdraw?** You receive **AUTO** back when the withdrawal process is completed.
* **Where should I check my timing?** The app shows the current status of your position and when the next withdrawal step is available.

{% hint style="info" %}
Your stake will automatically renew for the same duration if you do not initiate unstaking during the designated unstaking window.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.auto.finance/using-the-app/app-guide/staking-auto/unstake-and-withdraw-auto.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
