# Trigger a schedule run immediately

`POST /v1/schedules/{schedule_id}/run`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://coasty.ai`
- URL: `https://coasty.ai/v1/schedules/{schedule_id}/run`
- Auth: one of:
  - API key in header `X-API-Key`
  - HTTP bearer
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/coasty/apis/coasty-public-api/docs/v1/schedules/:schedule_id/run/post.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Managed-model published defaults: queueing run-now is free behind a $0.20 Developer API wallet gate; resulting non-Unlimited execution uses consumer subscription credits at 10 credits/minute with a 20-credit start minimum. Unlimited bypasses this runtime credit meter and start-balance gate while retaining separate token/concurrency safeguards. A BYOK schedule bypasses both wallet gates and the consumer-credit runtime meter and debits zero Coasty platform credits. Live-key schedule execution is billed directly by the selected provider. Under test auth, managed-mode execution remains deterministic sandbox; BYOK intent returns 422 LLM_PROVIDER_UNSUPPORTED before execution. It never decrypts or requires a stored provider key and makes no provider call. Read GET /v1/models pricing.schedules for effective deployed values and plan applicability.

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string

## Request body

- RunScheduleRequest
  - `task_prompt_override` string, nullable
  - `triggered_context` object, nullable: Free-form context injected into the agent's prompt. Max 1 MB serialized.

## Response `200`

Run queued.

- RunScheduleResponse
  - `schedule_id` string, required
  - `run_id` string, required
  - `status` 'running' | 'queued' | 'skipped' | 'completed', required
  - `message` string, required
  - `request_id` string, required

## Other responses

- `400`: Invalid request body or parameters.
- `401`: Missing, invalid, or revoked API key. Pass `X-API-Key: sk-coasty-live-...` (or test).
- `402`: Insufficient balance for this operation. Direct metered API calls and managed-machine runtime use the prepaid Developer API wallet; scheduled execution is the documented consumer subscription-credit exception. Follow the operation's billing fields and top up the matching balance in the dashboard.
- `403`: API key lacks the required scope or tier-feature is unavailable on the caller's plan.
- `404`: Resource not found in this key's namespace.
- `409`: The resource state conflicts with this operation.
- `413`: The request body exceeds the endpoint limit.
- `422`: The JSON shape is valid but one or more values violate the endpoint contract.
- `429`: Rate or concurrency limit exceeded.
- `500`: Unexpected server error. Retry with exponential backoff.
- `502`: An upstream dependency returned an invalid response.
- `503`: A required service is temporarily unavailable.
- `504`: An upstream dependency timed out.
