# apibox stop

> Stop API Box

Stops a running API Box: it saves its state, and releases its runtime; its token stays for the next start. It returns at once with status stopping; get the API Box until it is stopped. A stopped API Box is returned unchanged; a starting one returns 409 apibox\_starting.

```bash theme={null}
continuous apibox stop [flags]
```

## Examples

Replace `<id>` with the resource ID from your response before you run the command.

```bash theme={null}
continuous apibox stop --id <id>
```

## Flags

**--id, -i** `string` *required*

API Box ID.

Global flags apply to every command. See [Global flags](https://docs.continuouslabs.ai/cli/global-flags.md).
