# Suspend an intern

> Stops the intern runtime while keeping its disk and configuration for a later provision call. The API key selects the caller, workspace and visible interns. There is no default workspace fallback. Requests on regional hostnames such as `eu.openrouter.ai` are refused. [API key](/docs/api-reference/authentication) required.
