# Resume a paused subscription

`POST /api/billing/resume`

Clears Stripe pause collection and re-activates billing. Available while
`plan_status === 'paused'`. The prorated pause credit is posted to the
customer's Stripe balance asynchronously by the webhook arm that fires
for the `pause_collection` clear — the endpoint just returns success.

  - `data` string

    - `api_version` integer, required — API version (integer, increments on breaking changes)
    - `server_version` string, required — Server version (semver)
