Retry a Droplet Destroy with Associated Resources Request

If the status of a request to destroy a Droplet with its associated resources reported any errors, it can be retried by sending a POST request to the /v2/droplets/$DROPLET_ID/destroy_with_associated_resources/retry endpoint.

Only one destroy can be active at a time per Droplet. If a retry is issued while another destroy is in progress for the Droplet a 409 status code will be returned. A successful response will include a 202 response code and no content.

  • IdempotentThe SDK sends Idempotency-Key, so a retried request is only applied once.
