# Clear Automation Circuit Breaker

`POST /api/v1/automations/{id}/circuit_breaker/clear`

Clear the circuit breaker on an automation that was auto-disabled by the
 rate cap. Future events flow normally; existing paused executions are not
 affected (use ResolvePausedAutomationExecutions to run or cancel them).

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required — The unique identifier of the automation whose circuit breaker should be cleared.

## Request body

- C1ApiAutomationsV1ClearAutomationCircuitBreakerRequestInput — The ClearAutomationCircuitBreakerRequest message.
  - `decision` 'PAUSED_EXECUTION_DECISION_UNSPECIFIED' | 'PAUSED_EXECUTION_DECISION_RUN' | 'PAUSED_EXECUTION_DECISION_CANCEL' — What to do with paused executions. UNSPECIFIED means clear the breaker only (backward-compatible default). RUN or CANCEL creates a bulk action to resolve them asynchronously.
  - `reason` string — Admin-supplied reason when decision is CANCEL. Up to 1024 bytes.

## Response `200`

Successful response

- C1ApiAutomationsV1ClearAutomationCircuitBreakerResponse — The ClearAutomationCircuitBreakerResponse message.
  - `bulkActionId` string — The bulk action ID if a bulk action was created to resolve paused executions. Empty when decision is UNSPECIFIED or there were no paused executions.
