The staking-decommission-pool command in Mintlayer is used to decommission a staking pool using its unique pool ID. This action can only be performed if the decommission key is owned by the selected account in the wallet.
Note: Decommissioning a staking pool is a significant action that should be taken with due consideration, as it affects the pool's operation and the staking process.
Note: Decommissioning a pool incurs a 7200-block maturity period, which means the tokens are frozen for about 10 days.

[OUTPUT_ADDRESS]: The address that will be receiving the staker's balance (both pledge and proceeds from staking). If not specified, a new receiving address will be created by this wallet's selected account.
