Staking reward not received upon unstaking

Hello. I unstaked my TIA tokens. But the stake rewards didntt come to my wallet. Then I noticed that my validator wasnt active. Now, If there any way to reclaim the stake rewards? My wallet adress: celestia1286r9z0gy3cprtwgfm4aepc0r5qz53cc7nnqrn

Hi! A couple of things that might explain what you’re seeing:

• Rewards are usually paid out at the moment you unstake. On Cosmos SDK chains like Celestia, any pending rewards are normally sent to your wallet automatically in the same transaction as the unstake. It’s worth checking that transaction in a Celestia explorer; it should show a “withdraw rewards” amount, which may simply be smaller than you expected.
• An inactive validator doesn’t earn rewards. If your validator was jailed or dropped out of the active set, your stake stopped earning from that point, so there may not be any missed rewards to reclaim for that period.
• The unstaked TIA itself arrives later. Unstaking has a waiting period before the tokens become available again, so check whether that period has finished.

Since this is a Celestia question, the Celestia community channels may be able to help further. Also, be careful with anyone who DMs you offering to “recover” funds; that’s a very common scam after posts like this.
