# worlds advance

> Advance World Time

Advances each running member independently and skips paused or stopped members without waking them. Successful advances remain committed when another member fails. The World current\_time records the last settled request target; member clocks can differ.

```bash theme={null}
continuous worlds advance [flags]
```

## Examples

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

```bash theme={null}
continuous worlds advance --id <id> --idempotency-key <value> --to 2026-10-16T14:43:59.349Z
```

## Flags

<ParamField path="--body" type="string">
  Request body as JSON (alternative to individual flags). Can also be provided via stdin.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="--id" type="string" required>
  World ID.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="--idempotency-key" type="string" required>
  Stable key for this request. Reuse with the same target returns the same operation.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="--to, -t" type="string" required>
  Absolute target time in RFC 3339, with at most millisecond precision.

Global flags apply to every command. See [Global flags](/cli/global-flags).
