# Withdraw an asset from a subaccount to L1

> Submits a signed request to withdraw a spot asset out of a subaccount. You provide the subaccount id, asset name, amount in underlying units, a nonce, the signer, an EIP-712 signature with its expiry, and the maximum sequencer fee (in USD) you authorise; setting force_batch controls whether the withdrawal is batched. Requires a session key with withdraw permission, and returns the accepted operation id and its uuid for tracking.
