The Instance resumed row in the notifications reference describes an interruptible-only event:

Your interruptible instance got its GPU back and is running again.

That is not what the notification does.

  • It is not specific to interruptible instances — it fires when any instance leaves the "Scheduling" state, which on-demand instances pass through too. As written, the description tells most users it does not apply to them.
  • "Got its GPU back" describes preemption recovery. The actual trigger is ordinary setup finishing — a machine taking a while to hand over, or a large image still pulling.
  • The notification's own subject line is "Your Vast.ai Instance Is Now Running (Was Scheduling)".
  • It collided with "Instance back online", which is the row that genuinely means recovery after an outage. The table had two entries claiming to be the recovery event.

Also clarifies Instance started, which read as near-identical to "Instance resumed". The distinction users need is that it is sent once per rental and does not repeat on a later start.

No other rows touched.

"Instance resumed" was described as an interruptible-only event —
"your interruptible instance got its GPU back". It is not specific to
interruptible instances: it fires when any instance leaves the
"Scheduling" state, which on-demand instances also pass through. The
notification's own subject line reads "Your Vast.ai Instance Is Now
Running (Was Scheduling)".

As written it also collided with "Instance back online", which is the
event that actually means recovery after an outage.

Also clarifies "Instance started" — it is sent once per rental, which is
what distinguishes it from "Instance resumed".
