pause

crabbox pause pauses a single lease, freeing the remote compute while preserving the sandbox's state, so it can be brought back later with resume. It is provider-dependent: only providers whose backend implements the pausable capability accept it; others return provider=<name> does not support pause.

#Identifying the lease

Pass the lease as a positional argument or with --id; both accept the canonical ID or an active friendly slug (see Identifiers). Supplying both --id and a positional argument, or more than one positional argument, is an error. The local claim is kept so the lease can be resumed.

#Provider support

• islo — snapshots the sandbox to disk and frees its CPU/memory via the Islo

pause API; resume restores it. Accepts an isb_... ID, a Crabbox-created sandbox name, or a local slug.

• codesandbox — hibernates the CodeSandbox sandbox through the SDK bridge and

keeps the csbx_... local claim so it can be resumed or stopped later.

Run crabbox providers for the providers available in your build.
