# Unpause a deployment

> Resume a paused deployment.

`POST /api/v1/cloud/deployments/{id}/unpause`

Resumes a paused deployment. The deployment returns to `active` status, `paused_reason` is cleared to `null`, and the next trigger time is recomputed from the current time. Manual-only deployments are restored with `schedule: null`.
