# Resume a bulk consistency job that ran out of credits

`POST /api/v1/consistency/bulk/{jobId}/resume`

- Authentication: Secret API key as a bearer token
- Billing: Free to call. The resumed run bills the legs it reaches exactly as the first one did, and anything answered in the last seven days is a free repeat.
- Group: Consistency

Runs a job that stopped when the credit balance ran out again, from the top of the list it was given, instead of asking you to upload it a second time. Every leg looked up in the last seven days comes back as a free repeat, so only the work the stopped run never reached is charged — including the legs of the ROW it stopped part-way through, which the result file already carries.

The job keeps its id, its webhook and its cumulative `credits_used`, which is the real spend on the account. `processed` and the three row counts restart at zero: the part files they were counted from are deleted when a run settles, so the resumed run rebuilds them.

Only a run whose `stopped_reason` is `insufficient_credits` and whose `status` has settled can be resumed; anything else answers `409 JOB_NOT_RESUMABLE`, and so does a second resume of a run that is already going again. A run whose list has passed out of the retention window answers `409 JOB_INPUT_EXPIRED`. An empty balance answers `402 INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS` rather than queueing a run that would stop again on the first row it never reached.
