Operation description

When you call this operation, take note of the following items:

The instance must be in the Stopped state.****
If an instance has overdue payments for more than 15 days, the instance is stopped and released, and data on the instance can no longer be recovered. You must complete the overdue payments and reactivate the instance within 15 days. If you cannot reactivate an instance that resides in a virtual private cloud (VPC), wait a few minutes and try again.

You cannot call this operation on ECS instances that are locked for security reasons. If OperationLocks in the response returned for the DescribeInstances operation contains LockReason: security, the instance is locked for security reasons. For more information, see API behavior when an instance is locked for security reasons.
