Set the server run mode

PATCH /v1/infra/servers/:id/run-mode

Switches a BLACKHOLE server to one of three run modes: it sleeps when there are no requests, runs on a schedule, or runs around the clock. The mode decides what the server costs, so the request either applies in full or is refused with nothing changed.

Until run modes are enabled for the Bitrix24 account, the request is refused with 400 RUN_MODE_UNAVAILABLE. The current mode is always readable — the runMode and workSchedule fields in GET /v1/infra/servers/:id.

Parameters

Parameter In Type Required Description
id path string yes ID of a server in BLACKHOLE mode. Source — the server list

Request fields (body)

The body is one of three shapes, chosen by the mode field. A field the chosen shape does not take is refused with VALIDATION_ERROR rather than dropped.

Field Type Required Description
mode string yes IDLE — sleeps when there are no requests. SCHEDULE — runs during the windows of a schedule and sleeps outside them. ALWAYS — runs around the clock
idleMinutes number with IDLE Minutes without requests before the server falls asleep: 15, 30, 60 or 240
scheduleId string with SCHEDULE ID of a schedule of the same Bitrix24 account. Source — the schedule library

Response fields

The response carries the run-mode fields read after the write. The same shape comes in GET /v1/infra/servers/:id.

Field Type Description
success boolean Always true on success
data.runMode string Mode after the write: IDLE, SCHEDULE or ALWAYS
data.sleepAfterMinutes number | null The stored idle threshold in minutes. In SCHEDULE mode it is the remembered value: it does not apply while a schedule is assigned, and the schedule does not erase it
data.workSchedule object | null The assigned schedule, or null
data.workSchedule.id string Schedule ID
data.workSchedule.name string | null Name of a custom schedule. A platform preset has null here — identify it by presetKey
data.workSchedule.presetKey string | null Preset key: weekdays-9-18, weekdays-8-20, daily-9-21. null for a custom schedule
data.workSchedule.timezone string IANA time zone the windows are read in
data.workSchedule.windows array Windows by weekday: isoDay from 1 (Monday) to 7, start and end in local HH:MM. A day can hold two windows
data.nextScheduledWakeAt string (ISO 8601) | null The next planned wake-up, lead time included. null when no wake-up is planned

Error response example

400 — idle sleep requested for an agent server:

JSON
{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "AGENT_IDLE_SLEEP_FORBIDDEN",
    "message": "idle sleep is not available for agents and bots: they must stay reachable"
  }
}

Errors

HTTP Code Description
400 VALIDATION_ERROR The body matches none of the three shapes: an unknown field, idleMinutes outside 15, 30, 60, 240, a missing scheduleId
400 RUN_MODE_UNAVAILABLE Run modes are not enabled for the Bitrix24 account yet
400 BLACKHOLE_ONLY The server is not in BLACKHOLE mode
400 GALAXY_NOT_SUPPORTED The server is a galaxy host. A host has no run mode of its own: it runs while any of its apps runs, so the mode is set on the apps
400 AGENT_IDLE_SLEEP_FORBIDDEN IDLE was requested for a server of an agent or a bot — such servers have createdVia set to agent or bot. SCHEDULE and ALWAYS are available
400 WORK_SCHEDULE_EMPTY The schedule has no windows
401 MISSING_API_KEY The X-Api-Key header is missing
401 INVALID_API_KEY The key is not recognized: no such key exists on the platform
403 INFRA_SCOPE_REQUIRED The key lacks the vibe:infra scope
403 INFRA_FORBIDDEN_FOR_COWORK_KEY The call was made with a Cowork/Code key — such a key works with data only, and state-changing operations are closed to it. What to do — Project deploy key
403 WRITE_BLOCKED_READONLY_KEY The key is read-only — writing the run mode is closed to it
403 GALAXY_DISABLED The server is a galaxy app, and galaxies are switched off for the Bitrix24 account
403 SERVER_ROLE_FORBIDDEN You are on this server's development team with the Developer role, while the operation is open to the Administrator role. error.hint carries your role, the required level and the calls open to you. Roles are explained in List servers
404 NOT_FOUND The server does not exist, is deleted or is bound to another API key, and you are not on its development team
404 WORK_SCHEDULE_NOT_FOUND No schedule with this scheduleId exists in the key's Bitrix24 account. A schedule of another account gets the same answer — the response does not confirm that it exists
429 RATE_LIMITED The limit of 20 requests per minute per key is exceeded. The exact value is in the x-ratelimit-limit header (the ceiling is split between replicas)

Known specifics

  • A schedule outranks the idle threshold. While a schedule is assigned, the server runs during its windows and sleeps after them, and the stored sleepAfterMinutes does not apply. Switching to SCHEDULE does not erase the threshold: if the schedule is later deleted with consent to move its machines, the app returns to IDLE with exactly this number — see Delete a schedule.
  • Schedule windows become server wake-ups. The platform brings the server up ahead of each window, and after the window ends the server falls asleep on the platform idle timeout. These wake-ups do not show in the wake window list and are not edited there — the schedule itself changes them. Windows created by hand are not touched by the run mode.
  • A request outside a window still wakes the server. A request to the HTTPS subdomain wakes a sleeping server outside the schedule windows too — on the automatic wake-up conditions. That running time is billed at the running-machine rate.
  • A galaxy app takes a run mode like a standalone server. A galaxy sleeps only when all of its apps sleep. A schedule for one of two agents saves nothing while the other runs around the clock: set the mode on every app that must not keep the galaxy awake.
  • A write through /sleep removes the schedule. A number in sleepAfterMinutes moves the server to IDLE, null to ALWAYS, and the assigned schedule is removed in both cases.
