How to remove yourself from issue participants in GitLab?

I know how to leave the entire project, but I do not wish to do so.

There is an issue I accidentally created a branch for, and the branch is being used by actual participants, but I'm not doing anything for that issue's resolution. Now because I am a participant, I get an email whenever any of the other two participants does something.

I am listed on the right sidebar's Participants section, but there is no Edit button, like there is for other sections.

How do I remove myself or otherwise prevent getting emails from said issue?

@Jakob Liskow answered in the comments.

When you have an issue or merge request opened in your browser, there's a kebab menu in the top right that you can click, inside there is a toggle labelled "Notifications".

You need to turn this off in order to not receive any email.

Note

As O'Rooney pointed out in the comments below, this does not actually remove you as a participant, rather you no longer receive notifications for the issue in question. If you expect you might be needed in the same issue at a later point in time, you probably should not mute notifications, or your collaborators would best be informed of your decision so they can explicitly ping you on the matter when the need arises.
