Simulations created from it keep running, and their snapshot_id becomes null. While it is creating, the response is 409 snapshot_not_ready; while a Simulation is starting from it, 409 snapshot_in_use. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi/simulation.yaml delete /v1/simulation-snapshots/{id} openapi: 3.1.0 info: description: >- Build Simulators from OpenAPI, WSDL or GraphQL documents, create Simulations from them, and build Worlds that run Simulations together.
