The minimum amount of tokens for delegation at AptoStake is 10.01 APT, and there is no maximum limit. Additionally, you will need some fractions of APT to cover gas/transaction fees.
When selecting a Staking Pool for delegation, consider reliability, reputation, fees, pool size, and performance. Don't forget to conduct research and compare several options before making a choice. The Performance parameter should be close to 100%, with an Active status.
Active Pool is the pool which is validating the network and has a minimum stake of 1 000 000 APT. It generates rewards for delegates. Pending Pool is a pool which is not validating and not generating rewards for delegates.
Your tokens are automatically restaked every epoch (2 hours) and produce rewards in the next epoch.
You can use the rewards calculator located on the "Home" page. The calculator allows you to estimate the number of rewards for a specific period of time, depending on the size of your delegation and the current price of the APT token. Calculator accounts for automatic restake of rewards each epoch.
Your stake will become active with the start of the next epoch, which lasts for 2 hours. You can check when the next epoch starts on the Staking pools page, which is common for all pools.
Delegation rewards are automatically acquired every epoch (2 hours). Rewards are automatically restaked.
On the My stake page you can track your Stake Balance, My Delegations, Staking History and perform all necessary actions with your active delegations. To receive notifications on the current status of your delegations or staking pool, you can add them to the AptoStake Telegram bot. To do this, click on the icon next to your delegation on the My stake page.
The minimum amount of tokens you can Undelegate is 10 APT. Subsequent undelegations can be of any amount you want, if pending Undelegation is at least 10 APT and remaining Active Stake is at least 10.01 APT.
Example 1:
You stake 100 APT and perform the minimum allowed Undelegation for 10 APT. Now you have 10 APT - the minimum amount allowed in Pending Undelegation and can undelegate any amount of APT.
After unlock date you will have 0 APT in Pending Undelegation and thus will again be limited to Undelegate 10 APT minimum.
Example 2:
You stake 20 APT and perform the minimum allowed Undelegation for 10 APT. You will not be able to do it, because minimum active stake should be 10.01 APT. In this case you can only undelegate full amount of 20 APT.
Example 3:
You stake 21 APT and perform the minimum allowed Undelegation for 10 APT. Your pending undelegation is now 10 APT, active stake is 11 APT.
Example 1:
You stake 100 APT and perform the minimum allowed Undelegation for 10 APT. Now you have 10 APT - the minimum amount allowed in Pending Undelegation and can undelegate any amount of APT.
After unlock date you will have 0 APT in Pending Undelegation and thus will again be limited to Undelegate 10 APT minimum.
Example 2:
You stake 20 APT and perform the minimum allowed Undelegation for 10 APT. You will not be able to do it, because minimum active stake should be 10.01 APT. In this case you can only undelegate full amount of 20 APT.
Example 3:
You stake 21 APT and perform the minimum allowed Undelegation for 10 APT. Your pending undelegation is now 10 APT, active stake is 11 APT.
The Undelegation process can take up to 30 days depending on when you staked. This is called a lock-up cycle which is unique to each pool and can be viewed on the pool page in the Unlock Date block.
You can receive a notification for the upcoming lock-up cycle of your pool in the AptoStake Telegram bot. To do this, click on the icon next to your delegation on the My Stake page. Once Unlock Date is reached your tokens will appear in the"Ready to Withdraw" section on the dashboard.

Yes, tokens which are waiting to be Undelegated still earn rewards until the Unlock Date - then they are transferred to the Ready to withdraw section and stop producing rewards.
To cancel the Undelegation of APT tokens you can click the Cancel button. Important - when you cancel Undelegation two requirements must be met:
1) Active stake not less than 10.01 APT
2) Pending Undelegation not less than 10.00 APT.
Example:
You have 30 APT in the Pending Undelegation. You want to return 21 APT back to Active stake. You won’t be able to do it because the remaining Undelegation balance will be 9 APT, and thus all 30 APT will be returned to Active stake.
1) Active stake not less than 10.01 APT
2) Pending Undelegation not less than 10.00 APT.
Example:
You have 30 APT in the Pending Undelegation. You want to return 21 APT back to Active stake. You won’t be able to do it because the remaining Undelegation balance will be 9 APT, and thus all 30 APT will be returned to Active stake.
First you need to Undelegate your tokens, wait for the end of the lock-up cycle, and your tokens will be automatically directed to the "Ready to Withdraw" section. Then click on Withdraw and confirm the transaction.
If you no longer see your Ready to Withdraw tokens, it is due to you pressed the Undelegate button. In such case "Ready to Withdraw" tokens are automatically withdrawn to your wallet.
