> x402vps Extend Container Lease is a paid API for AI agents from x402vps.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-27).

Extends the lease duration of an existing Docker container, charging USDC on Base via x402 payment protocol

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability x402vps-extend-container-lease-6d0df836 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Extend the lease on container ctr_4cb194 for another 2 hours — pay with USDC on Base.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an existing x402vps container needs more runtime and you want to extend it without reprovisioning. Prefer this over creating a new container when you need continuity of state, existing processes, or open connections. Ideal for long-running AI agent tasks that outlast the initial lease, automated workflows that self-extend before expiry, or any scenario where container teardown would be disruptive.

## Known failure modes

- Container ID not found or already expired — returns error with container not found message
- Insufficient USDC balance or payment failure — x402 payment rejection
- Invalid or missing method field in request body — validation error
- Container lease cannot be extended beyond maximum allowed duration

## How this service works

Provision Docker containers on demand. Pay per lease with USDC on Base. No signup, no API key. Built for AI agents.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the container ID, the new expiration timestamp in Unix milliseconds, the number of lease hours added, and the amount of USDC charged (e.g. '$0.01').
