POST /limits/keys/{id}/kill
Stop this key from sending, immediately. Takes effect on the next request.
Parameters
idpath · string · requiredIdempotency-Keyheader · string · optional — Makes this call safe to retry. Send the same key with the same body and the original response is replayed instead of the work happening twice. Keys are 1-256 characters and are remembered for 7 days. While the first attempt is still running, a second call with that key returns 409 idempotency_in_flight (Resend calls this concurrent_idempotent_requests); the same key with a different body returns 409 idempotency_payload_mismatch (Resend: invalid_idempotent_request).
