Elastic Compute Service:StopInstance

Last Updated:Mar 19, 2024

Stops an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance in the Running state. After the operation is called, the state of the instance changes to Stopping and then to Stopped.

Operation description

  • If you call the DescribeInstances operation to query the details of an instance and OperationLocks in the response contains "LockReason": "security", the instance is locked for security reasons and cannot be stopped. For more information, see API behavior when an instance is locked for security reasons.
  • If the economical mode is enabled, you can set StoppedMode to KeepCharging to switch to the standard mode. This allows an instance that is stopped in standard mode to retain its instance type resources and public IP address. However, you continue to be charged for the instance.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer.

Authorization information

There is currently no authorization information disclosed in the API.
