# Release a reserved IP

`DELETE /api/v1/ips/{id}/reserve`

Release a reserved IP back to the pool.

## Billing

For subscription IPs the remaining prepaid balance is refunded pro-rata (hourly precision) to your account balance. For PAYG IPs the IP simply stops accruing further hourly usage — no refund is needed.

The IP must not be attached to a VM. Detach it first via `DELETE /api/v1/vms/{id}/ip/{nic_id}`.
