Thanks! It's not that bad as it sounds.
It seems I should be able to get my rewards after jail period is over. So there is no point in redelegating my funds if they would work stable in the future.

Validators can suffer from “Slashing”, a punishment for their bad behaviors, such as double sign and/or instability. Such loss will not be shared by their delegators.

Slashing is a punitive function that is triggered by a validator ’s bad actions. Getting slashed is losing self delegation of a validator. Validators will be slashed for the actions below:

Going offline or unable to communicate with the network.
Double signing. If a validator node tries to split the network by signing two different blocks and broadcasting them, it will be removed from validator set definitely.

minimum self-delegated amount: 10000BNB

Unbonding time: 7 days

offline Unjail fee: 1BNB

offline Jailed time: 2 days. A validator can only unjail 2 days later after it has been jailed

offline slashing amount: 50BNB

Double-sign slashing amount: 10000BNB

TLDR: Ankr fcked up somewhere and got punished by the network. They won't make money for at least 2 days and maybe you lost a percentage of your BNB (a very small and unnoticeable one, though).

You can undelegate, but that takes 7 days (according to the same page).

Hey there!

I have staked my BNB not long ago and used Ankr_BSC_validator_1 as a delegator. Today when I logged in, I found that this validator now have In Jail status.

I could not find an explanation of it but it definitely sounds like there should be an interesting story behind this status. Hope, someone can clarify it.

And the most important: does it mean that delegator is locked forever (sounds like it should be really "locked" for some time) and I only have to re-delegate it? Seems like I'd have to wait until funds are re-delegated now Sad
