suspend_timeout_secondsinteger · int64

Duration of inactivity in seconds after which the compute endpoint is automatically suspended. The value `0` means use the default value. The value `-1` means never suspend. The default value is `300` seconds (5 minutes). The minimum value is `60` seconds (1 minute). The maximum value is `604800` seconds (1 week). For more information, see [Scale to zero configuration](https://neon.com/docs/manage/endpoints#scale-to-zero-configuration).

maximum 604800 · minimum -1

history_retention_secondsinteger · int32

History window (point-in-time restore range) for all branches, in seconds. `0` disables it. Default 1 day (Free: 6 hours). Maximum depends on plan: Free 6 hours (21600), Launch 7 days (604800), Scale 30 days (2592000).

allowed_ipsobject

A list of IP addresses that are allowed to connect to the compute endpoint. If the list is empty or not set, all IP addresses are allowed. If protected_branches_only is true, the list will be applied only to protected branches.

Show child attributes
ipsarray of string

A list of IP addresses that are allowed to connect to the endpoint.

Show child attributes
protected_branches_onlyboolean

If true, the list will be applied only to protected branches.

audit_log_levelstring

one of "base", "extended", "full"

block_public_connectionsboolean

When set, connections from the public internet are disallowed. This supersedes the AllowedIPs list. This parameter is under active development and its semantics may change in the future.

block_vpc_connectionsboolean

When set, connections using VPC endpoints are disallowed. This parameter is under active development and its semantics may change in the future.

enable_logical_replicationboolean

Sets wal_level=logical for all compute endpoints in this project. All active endpoints will be suspended. Once enabled, logical replication cannot be disabled.

hipaaboolean

Enables HIPAA compliance mode for the project, including audit logging.

maintenance_windowobject

A maintenance window is a time period during which Neon may perform maintenance on the project's infrastructure. During this time, the project's compute endpoints may be unavailable and existing connections can be interrupted.

Show child attributes
end_timestringrequired

End time of the maintenance window, in the format of "HH:MM". Uses UTC.

start_timestringrequired

Start time of the maintenance window, in the format of "HH:MM". Uses UTC.

weekdaysarray of integerrequired

A list of weekdays when the maintenance window is active. Encoded as ints, where 1 - Monday, and 7 - Sunday.

Show child attributes
preload_librariesobject

The shared libraries to preload into the project's compute instances.

Show child attributes
enabled_librariesarray of string

Names of shared preload libraries to enable for the project.

Show child attributes
use_defaultsboolean

When true, the project's preload libraries include the platform default set in addition to any libraries listed in `enabled_libraries`.

quotaobject

Per-project consumption quotas. If a quota is exceeded, all active computes are automatically suspended and cannot be started via API calls or incoming connections. The exception is `logical_size_bytes`, which is enforced per branch. If a branch exceeds its `logical_size_bytes` quota, computes can still be started, but write operations will fail—allowing data to be deleted to free up space. Computes on other branches are not affected. Setting `logical_size_bytes` overrides any lower value set by the `neon.max_cluster_size` Postgres setting. Quotas are enforced using per-project consumption metrics with the same names. These metrics reset at the start of each billing period. `logical_size_bytes` is also an exception—it reflects the total data stored in a branch and does not reset. A zero or empty quota value means “unlimited.”

defaultGeneral Error. The request may or may not be safe to retry, depending on the HTTP method, response status code, and whether a response was received. - If no response is returned from the API, a network error or timeout likely occurred. - In some cases, the request may have reached the server and been successfully processed, but the response failed to reach the client. As a result, retrying non-idempotent requests can lead to unintended results. The following HTTP methods are considered non-idempotent: `POST`, `PATCH`, `DELETE`, and `PUT`. Retrying these methods is generally **not safe**. The following methods are considered idempotent: `GET`, `HEAD`, and `OPTIONS`. Retrying these methods is **safe** in the event of a network error or timeout. Any request that returns a `503 Service Unavailable` response is always safe to retry. Any request that returns a `423 Locked` response is safe to retry. `423 Locked` indicates that the resource is temporarily locked, for example, due to another operation in progress. application/json
