The updated fee schedule removes the pre-published 1% fee for instant unstaking and instead discloses the fee only at the moment a user requests to unstake. This means users can no longer review the exact cost before initiating a transaction through the published schedule. The revision also explicitly includes converting a pending standard unstake to an instant unstake as a fee-triggering action. No fee continues to apply if a user waits for the full unbonding period.
