A major exchange has issued an important notice: to optimize trading experience, risk limits and leverage adjustments will be made to multiple perpetual contract products on January 23, 2026, at 2:30 UTC. The contracts involved include ONTUSDT, QNTUSDT, STABLEUSDT, and others.

Here's the key point—if your position does not meet the new margin requirements by the deadline, the system will restrict your ability to add to your position, allowing only reductions. It may sound unfriendly, but this is actually giving you a buffer period.

The entire grace period will extend until February 9, 2026, at 8:30 UTC, during which you can respond by adding funds or adjusting your positions. After this time, the new risk parameters will take effect directly. If your positions still do not meet the requirements, forced liquidation risks will be imminent.

A special reminder: this adjustment also applies to copy trading and trading bot positions, so friends using automation tools should pay attention. The exchange reserves the right to end the grace period early, meaning it could be shortened. Don't wait until the last minute. Instead of reacting passively, check your positions now, add funds if needed, adjust parameters if necessary—it's always better to be prepared.

Is this another set? Starting to leverage in January, are you helping us or screwing us over? --- A two-month buffer period sounds generous, but honestly, it's just giving you time to run away. --- Robots also need restrictions? Then I better check the automation strategies quickly. --- With liquidation risk in front of us, it's better to reduce positions early as insurance. --- Need to add funds and adjust parameters again, troublemakers, this time the real trouble has arrived. --- Those who waited until the last moment have been liquidated once already. This time, learn to be smarter. --- The ONT position needs to be reassessed; the risk limits have changed, and the gameplay has changed too. --- This round of contract adjustments is indeed a bit annoying, but doing nothing means only taking passive hits. --- The grace period is actually just a warning; whether you heed it or not, the exchange is serious. --- Friends copying trades also need to pay attention; your robot might need a reconfiguration.

Smiling all the way until being liquidated, this wave of adjustment is truly Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man. Wait, do robots copying trades also get affected? Does my automated weed-cutting machine also need to stay alive? Adding margin within two weeks, if it's later, you'll really become the main character in a liquidation drama. The nice way to say it is a buffer period; the harsh way is a final ultimatum. The sudden adjustment of risk limits for contracts like ONT and QNT really makes it hard to understand what the exchange is up to. Don't wait until February 9th to check your positions; by then, you'll only be able to silently accept the agony of liquidation.

Here comes another round of cutting leeks, this time giving you a grace period. So thoughtful!

Here we go again, the exchange is about to change the rules again. So annoying. Please check your positions in advance, don't get liquidated. Risk limits are being adjusted again. What parameters will be changed this time? Wait, do the robot's orders need to be modified too? I better check quickly. This grace period sounds quite lenient, but in reality, it's just a way to push people to reduce their positions. You need to act before February 9th, or it will take effect directly, which is dangerous. I'm really worried that the grace period might end early on that day, leaving no time to react. Whether to add funds or adjust leverage, you have to choose one. So frustrating.

Adjusting parameters again, this time directly hitting a bottleneck.

Another round of adjustment, and this time it's quite fierce. I need to quickly check my positions.
