The Big Picture
Governance can override standard release restrictions to return deposits when the situation clearly warrants it, without waiting for normal delays.
Use Cases
- Release deposit during safe-mode if needed
- Override ReleaseDelay in special cases
From Chain Metadata
Force to release a deposit for an account that entered safe-mode at a given historical block. This can be called while safe-mode is still entered. Emits a [`Event::DepositReleased`] event on success. Errors with [`Error::Entered`] if safe-mode is entered. Errors with [`Error::NoDeposit`] if the payee has no reserved currency at the specified block. Can only be called by the [`Config::ForceDepositOrigin`] origin.
