## POST /api/v2/vps/{id}/snapshot-schedules

**Set VPS snapshot schedule**

Create or replace the singleton snapshot schedule for a VPS. Read `GET /api/v2/vps/{id}/snapshot-schedules` first; if `available` is false, `limits.totalSnapshots` is 0, or `actions.canEnable.allowed` is false, the POST will be rejected. Snapshot schedules use the same short-lived local block-on-write snapshot slots as manual snapshots; they are for fast rollback and are not offsite backups. Snapshots are automatically retained for about 24 hours. To buy or increase snapshot capacity, call `GET /api/v2/vps/{id}/actions/upgrade`, find `configurableOptions[].key === "snapshotSlots"`, then preview/commit `POST /api/v2/vps/{id}/actions/config` with `resources.snapshotSlots`, or change to a plan that includes snapshots. `intervalHours` is floored and clamped by the route to the supported range 4 through 24 hours.

```bash
curl -X POST "https://cloud.hostup.se/api/v2/vps/vps_01hxa3b4c5d6e7f8g9h0j1k2m3/snapshot-schedules" \

```

### Response Schema

- `schedule` (object,null, required) Example: `null`
- `limits` (object, required)
- `limits.totalSnapshots` (integer, required): Snapshot slots included with the current plan/configuration. `0` means scheduling cannot be enabled until snapshot capacity is added. Example: `3`
- `available` (boolean, required): True when the current plan/configuration includes at least one snapshot slot. Example: `true`
- `reason` (string,null, required) Example: `null`
- `actions` (object, required)
- `actions.canEnable` (object, required)
- `actions.canEnable.allowed` (boolean, required) Example: `true`
- `actions.canEnable.reason` (string,null, required) Example: `null`
- `actions.canEnable.code` (string,null, optional): Machine-readable reason code when an action is blocked. Example: `pending_order`
