# Unsubscribe from a thread

> Unsubscribe from an issue or pull request until you comment on it or are mentioned.

<div class="g1t-endpoint"><span class="g1t-method" data-method="delete">DELETE</span><code>/notifications/threads/{id}/subscription</code></div>

What is asked of you directly (a review, an assignment, a mention, an agent waiting on you) still reaches you. Name it by a thread's `id`, or by `repo` and `number`. Returns your subscription.

- **Authentication:** Required. Send an [access token](/reference/api/#authentication) as `Authorization: Bearer`.
- **MCP tool:** [`notifications`](/reference/mcp/#notifications) with `action` `unsubscribe`, and the same inputs
- **Scope:** An access token needs [`notifications:write`](/guides/authentication/#scopes).
- **Also at:** [`DELETE /repos/{owner}/{name}/issues/{number}/subscription`](/reference/api/notifications/delete-issue-subscription/)

## Path parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | string | Yes | A thread's id, from [`list_notifications`](/reference/api/notifications/list-notifications/). Or give repo and number. |

## Body parameters

Send a JSON object. Names are `snake_case`, as in responses; the `camelCase` spelling is accepted too.

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `number` | integer | No | With repo: the issue or pull request's number. |

## Example request

```sh
curl -X DELETE https://api.g1t.sh/notifications/threads/ntf_01kp7m2q3r4s5t6v7w8x9y0z1a/subscription \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $G1T_TOKEN"
```

## Example response

A successful request answers `200` with:

```json
{
  "subscribed": false,
  "ignored": false,
  "reason": null,
  "repo": "flagon-io/hello",
  "number": 14,
  "updated_at": "2026-10-07T10:04:00.000Z"
}
```

## Errors

A failed request answers with one of these statuses and a body like `{"error": {"code": "not_found", "message": "Repository not found."}}`. See [errors](/reference/api/#errors).

| Status | Code | When |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 401 | `unauthenticated` | A token is required, or the one sent is not valid. |
| 403 | `forbidden` | The token is valid but not allowed to do this, such as a member-only change or an agent token outside its repository. |
| 404 | `not_found` | It does not exist, or you cannot see it. |
| 409 | `conflict` | The request conflicts with the current state. |
| 422 | `invalid` | The input is not valid. `message` says which field and why. |
