Impact analysis
The confirmed operational change is the closure of margin trading, lending and borrowing for TURBO and COOKIE at their respective cutoffs, plus suspension of transfers into the Margin account and loan repayment for those tokens. Transferring out of Margin accounts remains available, so users retain that route. For accounts with outstanding loans, the source states the system will cancel open orders, liquidate positions and repay loans, meaning positions may be closed by the system rather than by the user. KuCoin Trading Bot will delist the Margin Grid, and bots not shut down beforehand will be closed automatically. The source also notes that existing positions significantly affect the cost of delisting and that users cannot perform position-related operations during the designated time. It adds that if price fluctuates sharply, the delisting process may be initiated earlier.

It also does not state the exact time the automatic bot shutdown or liquidation occurs beyond the designated cutoff.
