Update the status of a machine instance

PUT /machines/{machineSlug}/i/{instanceSlug}/status
Bearer auth

Set the status of the machine.

Machines in the 'paused' status will reject any events sent to them with a 409 error with a code of "invalid-state".

'running' instances will accept events normally.

It is dangerous to set an instance's status to 'paused'! You will drop events and, because delayed events are only retried 5 times (with ~30 seconds between each try), some delayed events may be dropped and never sent to your machine.

This exists purely to stop a runaway machine instance that is stuck in a loop of creating too many events.

This endpoint requires admin access.
