Many users suddenly feel that trading fees have become more expensive. No need to wonder why — OKX's VIP level is indeed updated automatically every day. When your trading volume is not enough, your tier drops and fees go up. Here is how to check your current status and what you can do about it.

First, understand how your fee tier is determined
OKX's VIP level does not depend on how long you have been a user. It only looks at two hard indicators: your 30-day trading volume and your total account assets. Whichever gives you a higher tier is the one the system uses.
For example, if your spot trading volume qualifies for VIP 3, but your assets only qualify for VIP 1, you will still enjoy VIP 3 fees. This tier applies across all products, including spot, futures, and options.
The key point is that the benefits you think are permanent are actually dynamic. Once your assets or trading volume drop, your tier will be lowered the next day.
Where to check your 30-day trading volume and current tier
You can check your current VIP level, 30-day trading volume, and total account assets by following these steps:
App: Tap the bottom Trade tab → tap your profile icon in the top left corner → find the VIP or Fee tier section.
Web: Log in to the official website, click your profile icon in the top right corner → Account → Fee tier, or directly open the official fee page at okx.com/zh-hans/fees.
After that, you will see three things on the page: your current VIP level, your 30-day trading volume (spot and futures are counted separately), and your total account assets. The data updates daily between 4:00 AM and 6:00 AM (UTC+8), and what you see is the previous day's data.
If your tier has dropped — how to fix it
First confirm why your tier dropped, then take the corresponding action:
Case A: Not enough trading volume — The 30-day trading volume is calculated on a rolling basis. Every day, the system counts the cumulative volume over the past 30 days. If you have been trading less recently, simply increase your cumulative trading volume and the system will automatically upgrade you again. No manual application is needed.
Case B: Not enough assets — Transfer more assets into your account. USDT, BTC, ETH, and other assets all count. Your tier will update automatically the next day.
Case C: Sub-account users — The main account's VIP level is automatically synced to all sub-accounts. The tier is determined by the combined assets and trading volume of the main account and all sub-accounts.
Important warning: Once your VIP tier drops, trading fees are calculated at the new tier immediately. There is no grace period. By the time you notice fees have become more expensive, the change has already taken effect. So if your trading volume has been declining recently, check your tier status in advance instead of waiting until you are downgraded.
Cannot find it? Check this place
If you cannot find the entry in the App, go directly to the OKX official fee page at okx.com/zh-hans/fees. Scroll down and you will see the asset thresholds and trading volume thresholds for different VIP levels. Compare them with your own numbers to see which tier you are currently in.

Next step
Open the OKX App now, go to Trade → Profile Center, and look for "Fee tier" to check your current level and 30-day trading volume. If you find that your tier has dropped, over the next month you should either trade more or transfer in more assets. The system will automatically reassess your tier after 6:00 AM the next day.
