Enable Rescue

PUT 

/vms/:vm_id/rescue

Reboots the VPS into Rescue while preserving disks and networking. Requires at least 2048 MiB RAM and a paid VPS. Supply a temporary password; after success, connect as root to the VPS IP over SSH on port 22. Firewall rules still apply. Plan changes, OS reinstallation and normal OS password resets are unavailable in Rescue. Check the operation and rescue in VPS details. For rescue_not_ready or requires_review=true, verify the state and exit Rescue; retry a lost request with its original Idempotency-Key.

HTTP 202 means acceptance. Poll GET /vms/{vm_id}/operations/{operation_id}; data.id is the operation ID. Webhooks.
