This page describes how to start an instance, stop an instance, and restart an instance that is running.
Activation policyWhen you start, stop, or restart an instance, you need to set an activation policy to use. The activation policy indicates if the instance is activated to accept connection requests.
Activation policy options are:
ALWAYS
- The instance is always up and running.NEVER
- The instance is not restarted.Set your activation policy to
ALWAYS
. If you are not using your instance, you can set its activation policy to
NEVER
to avoid instance charges.
Note:NEVER
is not supported for read replica instances. Start an instance
To start a stopped instance:
ConsoleIn the Google Cloud console, go to the Cloud SQL Instances page.
Use ALWAYS for the activation policy:
gcloud sql instances patch INSTANCE_NAME \ --activation-policy=ALWAYSREST v1
Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:
HTTP method and URL:
PATCH https://sqladmin.googleapis.com/v1/projects/project-id/instances/instance-id
Request JSON body:

To send your request, expand one of these options:
curl (Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell) Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to thegcloud
CLI with your user account by running gcloud init
or gcloud auth login
, or by using Cloud Shell, which automatically logs you into the gcloud
CLI . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list

Stop an instanceYou can manually stop an instance when needed. When you stop an instance, it remains stopped, and does not respond to application connections, until you start it again.
Stopping an instance suspends instance charges. The instance data is unaffected, and charges for storage and IP addresses continue to apply.
Note: When an instance is nearly out of storage capacity, it's stopped to prevent the loss of information. A red circle with an exclamation mark indicates this status. When you open the instance, a red banner suggests that you increase the storage capacity and enable automatic storage increases. Click the Edit instance button on the banner to increase storage capacity.
As an alternative, you can restart the service to reduce storage requirements by deleting any data that you don't require (and also perform any other operations on the instance). After 24 hours, if the instance is still nearly out of storage capacity, it's again stopped with the same message.
Note: You cannotstop
a read replica instance.
To stop an instance:
ConsoleIn the Google Cloud console, go to the Cloud SQL Instances page.
The activation policy of the instance is set to Off
(Never) and the instance is stopped.

Restart an instanceRestarting an instance drains the connections from the instance and stops it. Next, the instance restarts and is ready to accept new connections.
Restarting an instance doesn't change the public or private IP addresses of the instance.
Note: Restarting a running instance can resolve some problems with the instance. However, restarting an instance causes a disruption in service, and empties the instance cache, which results in a temporary reduction in performance. If you have restarted your instance recently, check the instance logs to ensure it has fully recovered before restarting it again.
After you restart the instance, the process and buffer caches are stopped and then refreshed.
To restart an instance:
ConsoleIn the Google Cloud console, go to the Cloud SQL Instances page.
Restart the instance:
gcloud sql instances restart INSTANCE_NAMEREST v1
