Users can not refund their submission deposit while the referendum is `Ongoing`. Similarly, users
cannot refund their submission deposit if the proposal has `TimedOut` (failing to submit the
decision deposit within a 14-day period will lead to a referendum timeout). This behavior exists so
that users can refrain from spamming the chain with proposals that have no interest from the
community. If a proposal is in the `TimedOut` state, any user can call `slash_proposal_deposit`,
which will move the funds from the user to a runtime-configured account, like the treasury.

If you submitted a proposal and no decision deposit has been placed on that referenda, the
submission deposit will not be claimable using the `refundSubmissionDeposit` extrinsic. To refund
your deposit, you can start a new referendum and specifically request a refund from the treasury.
You need to make sure you have enough balance for a new submission deposit and you will need to
select the right track to ask for the refund. For example, the
