Notice on Upgrade to the Futures Cool-off Period

To further protect users' trading safety, OKX will upgrade the Futures Cool-off Period feature on 7 July 2026, expanding the scope of order restrictions during the cool-off period.

What's Changing

Following this upgrade, the cool-off period will extend beyond web and app order placement to cover the following channels:

REST API, WebSocket, third-party authorization (including Broker OAuth, Agent Trade Kit,etc.), strategy order, copy trading, trading bots, and more.

Once the cool-off period is active, any orders to open or increase positions submitted through the above channels will be rejected. Orders to reduce or close positions are not affected.

Please note that after activating the cool-off period, the new restrictions may take up to 30 seconds to come into effect.

Notice for Existing Users

Users who configured the cool-off period before this upgrade will remain on the existing service, which only restricts orders placed via the web and app. These users will not be subject to the expanded restrictions introduced in this upgrade.The current cool-off period cannot be terminated early. If you wish to benefit from the full restrictions, we recommend re-enabling the cool-off period after your current one expires.
