Documented steps

  1. Every mutating call (POST/PATCH/DELETE on projects, branches, endpoints...) returns an 'operations' array with id, action, and status
  2. Poll GET https://console.neon.tech/api/v2/projects/{project_id}/operations/{operation_id} on ~5-second intervals
  3. Statuses: scheduling, running, finished, failed, cancelling, cancelled, skipped — stop polling at finished/skipped/cancelled
  4. A single call can return multiple operations (e.g. create_branch + start_compute); wait for all of them when subsequent calls depend on the result
  5. If any API call returns 423 Locked, the project is busy — retry the same request with exponential backoff (e.g. 0.1s, doubling)
