Release a hold before it expires — free the inventory now

Releasing an unexpired hold the tenant owns gives the inventory back now, frees the RP- for a new hold and emits hold.expired with data.releaseOutcome.Show moreReleasing an unexpired hold the tenant owns gives the inventory back now, frees the RP- for a new hold and emits hold.expired with data.releaseOutcome. The supplier is told once, where it supports a release; otherwise the hold is released on the platform side and the answer says so. Idempotent: releasing a released or expired hold is a 200 with its state unchanged. A booked hold is 409 CONFLICT details.reason HOLD_SPENT. Idempotency-Key required.

APTSVC (airport services: meet and assist, porter, buggy, wheelchair, concierge bundles) is registered by this release beside FASTTRK. FNB (dining: restaurant reservations; aliases REST, DINING, RESTAURANT, RESTAURANTS; category DO, money model FREE, artifact CONF_NUMBER, served under the dining service key with base path /v1/dining) is registered since v1.7.0. GIFT (gift cards; category SUPPORT, money model MERCHANT, artifact VOUCHER, served under the gift-cards service key with base path /v1/gift-cards) is described from v1.31.0: until the backend seam change merges, domain GIFT answers 400 UNKNOWN_DOMAIN. AICONT (the Example Content experience-scraping service's operations; category DO, money model MERCHANT, artifact NONE, served under the aicont service key with base path /v1/aicont; a content supplier) has its typed intent from v1.39.0; it answers only where its supplier set is landed and ACTIVE. PARK (airport and cruise-port parking; aliases PRK and PARKING; category SUPPORT, money model MERCHANT, artifact CONF_NUMBER — the supplier's gate barcode is the order's BARCODE document — served under the parking service key with base path /v1/parking) has its typed intent and its verb book from v1.55.0.

Not retryable; nextAction stop — the agent stops using the key and tells the person; details carry resumeBy (owner), consoleLink and evidence (ApiKeyPauseEvidence). Nothing was charged, held or sent; holds and orders already made are untouched. A key whose ancestor (the key that minted it, or that key's minter) is PAUSED answers the same 423 KEY_PAUSED, and resuming the ancestor resumes it, so a child never outlasts a pause of its parent. The MCP plane answers the identical body as an isError result. Any key-authenticated route may answer it; it is declared on the order and hold writes, search, reprice and the key routes.

Retryable after retryAfterMs (mirrored by Retry-After); nextAction slow_down; details carry limit, windowSeconds and the dimension in details.field. The tenant quota of RateLimited and the key's velocity are separate limits. Every call of a minted key also counts against each ancestor key's velocity and spend windows, so minting N children never multiplies the blast radius; spendPerDay is reserved atomically before the order is placed and released if it fails.
