Withdrawing an accepted paper before camera-ready due to zero funding? (ACML 2026 / OpenReview) [D]

Excerpt

Hi everyone, I recently had a paper accepted at ACML 2026, but I just found out that I have absolutely no funding to cover the registration fee or travel expenses. Because of this, I need to withdraw the paper before the camera-ready deadline. I am unsure how common this is or the proper etiquette for it on OpenReview. Should I click "Withdraw" directly on the platform, email the Program Chairs first, or simply ghost the camera-ready submission? I really want to know the potential repercussions,
