# Release Hold

`POST /billing/internal/release-hold`

Called by Modal on generation failure to release credit hold.

Routes the refund to the shared team pool when ``snapshot_id`` is supplied
and the snapshot is team-owned; otherwise the personal balance. The
snapshot_id is optional for backward compatibility with indexer builds that
don't yet send it — those release to the user (the historical behaviour),
so a lagging Modal deploy degrades safely for personal holds.
