# Resume message queue

> <Info>This API is in beta. Endpoints, fields, and behavior may still change, so avoid depending on it in production.</Info>

Lifts the queue's pause, whether you set it or Base44 did, and starts the next queued message once the AI is free. Resuming a queue that isn't paused also starts the next message if the AI is idle.

[Stop generation](/api-reference/stop-generation) pauses a queue that has messages in it, so nothing queued starts after you stop. [Edit and resend](/api-reference/edit-and-resend) pauses the queue while it runs and resumes it afterward, unless the AI ends that turn waiting on a tool call. A turn that ends waiting on a tool call also pauses the queue until you answer it with [Submit tool-call input](/api-reference/submit-tool-call-input). Base44 doesn't lift a pause you set yourself, but every pause expires 24 hours after it was set. Call this to carry on.

This is limited to 60 requests per minute per app for each workspace's personal API keys, so every key in a workspace shares one allowance. Every endpoint that changes the queue shares it. Some workspaces have a different limit.

<Note>This endpoint accepts a personal API key belonging to a user with editor access to the app. A read-only key is refused, and workspace API keys are not accepted.</Note>

<Warning>The response includes fields beyond the ones documented here. Don't rely on undocumented response fields, as they can change at any time.</Warning>
