# Force TTL expiry check

`POST /admin/check-ttl`

Triggers a one-shot TTL expiry check. Identifies stacks with expired TTL policies
and initiates their destruction. Stacks with active commands are skipped.

Side effects: This endpoint destroys infrastructure. Any stack whose TTL has expired
will have all its resources destroyed. This is irreversible.

## Response `200`

OK: TTL check complete.

- ModelForceCheckTTLResponse
