Sandboxes

Pause a running sandbox

Snapshots the sandbox’s full state (memory + disk), suspends the VM, and transitions to paused. Resume it later to continue exactly where it left off — same memory, same running processes, same files.

The request holds until the pause is decided; if the host has not answered by then, the response is 202 Accepted and the pause continues in the background. Send Prefer: respond-async to get 202 as soon as the pause is recorded instead. Either way GET /sandboxes/{sandbox_id} reports paused once it lands (or failed if the VM turned out to be gone).

Headers

Prefer

enum<string>

Accept 202 with {"status":"pausing"} over a held connection.

Available options:

respond-async

Path Parameters

sandbox_id

string

required

The unique identifier of the sandbox. Public sandbox ID: a bare UUID, or the region-tagged form sb-<region>-<uuid> (e.g. sb-use-1b4e28ba-…). Treat as an opaque string; the tagged form routes the request to the sandbox's home region. Endpoints accept both forms interchangeably.

Pattern: ^(sb-[a-z0-9]+-)?[0-9a-fA-F]{8}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}$

Response

Pause recorded and in progress; poll the sandbox until it is paused. Immediate with Prefer: respond-async, otherwise returned when the pause is still in progress after the request's wait.

status
