Retries and asynchronous work
This change does not have a general retry guarantee. If the response is unclear, read the affected resource before trying again. Follow Retry-After waiting times and request new sign-in or action codes when they expire.
HTTP 202 means the background job was accepted. Use the returned job ID to check its status. Download results when the job is complete, or inspect its error or cancellation status.
Request examples
Replace demo IDs, timestamps and placeholders with your own values. For a retry, keep the same IDs, time and content. These examples do not run requests on this page.
Keep login links, codes, cookies and keys private. Do not print them in logs or share them in support requests.

Workspace SLOs use the aggregate availability series of HTTP, TCP, UDP, DNS, TLS, ping, service, domain and browser monitors. Unknown and unobserved time remain explicit; satisfaction is only proven by the lower availability bound. Ten SLOs and three report schedules are allowed per workspace. Calendar reports are immutable for 90 days. Email requires explicit owner opt-in and a verified destination, and shares the existing notification quota. Asynchronous jobs share four global slots and one per owner, can be cancelled and cannot cross workspace boundaries. Choose daily, weekly or monthly reports and a dispatch time (HH:MM) in an IANA timezone. Reports cover the previous local calendar day, Monday–Sunday week or month. Processing starts at that time; delivery may be later. During daylight-saving changes, a missing time moves to the next valid minute and a repeated time runs only once. Manual generation uses the last closed period regardless of the dispatch time.
