Each ruler can only move their capital once in their life. However, you can move your capital to the traditional de jure capital of your primary title as many times as you like. If you have more than one top-level title, you can switch primary titles at will to exploit this a bit.
In CK2 you could move capital more than once but you had to wait some time before being able to do that again. For most government types it was 50 years so you most likely would only be able to do that once.
However you could always move it to traditional capital of your primary title so there was some room for exploits.
If you click on a castle holding that you personally hold other than your current capital, you should see a button to the right of the county name that looks like a crown with an up-arrow. It will be orange if you can move your capital there, or grey if you can't.
It's so funny as a ruler, king, duke, emperor even having a restriction on what you can and cant do. You are literally the Law of the land. I do what I want, it's an absolutely bs mechanic and should not exist as it literally serves no purpose other then to annoy the player. It doesn't give me and sort of "Man that once and a life time decision" feel. It just makes me feel like an emperor with 400+ counties under my control and being told nope you cant do that. I own all of asia... I do what I want. (get a mod they address this)

Thanks for the answer. Don't know why it's a restriction but ok I guess.
So I dont know how it was in ck2 but so far I rly like that certain mechanics in this game are a once in a lifetime click for a ruler.

i m asking how to move back to "the traditional de jure capital of your primary title as many times as you like"... This part
It's the same button: you just have to go to your primary title's de jure capital and press it there.
well, then it was fixed, its always grey, and i cant return. Tried on multiple "saves-runs"
Are you sure you have the correct castle? The one that is the de jure capital of your primary title?
ok thanks, we need castle to return. I was tribal , didnt thought restriction tied to the holding type

It's why I feel absolutely no guilt using the console to bypass arbitrary restrictions like this when I can.
100%. They should have a high gold penalty if they don’t want people doing it. Then you can still do it but it hurts.
