# Retire withdrawal destination

Source: https://business-api-docs.youhodler.com/docs/api/reference/withdrawal-destinations/withdrawal-destinations-retire

Changes withdrawal destination state. The `rail_class` query parameter is required so edge can route directly to the selected backend. Fiat state changes also require `account_ref`. The `Idempotency-Key` header is required: fiat state changes reject requests without it; the crypto path accepts and ignores it.
