</details>

<details>

<summary>Q) Why did my countdown timer reset itself?</summary>

**A:** This likely happened because you unstaked more TONIC while the previous batch of TONIC was undergoing its 10-day cooldown period. When this happens, the countdown timer will reset your cooldown period back to 10 days
