Documented steps
Get a Personal Access Token and your project ref.
POST https://api.supabase.com/v1/projects/{ref}/restore with the Authorization header set to your personal access token (no body needed).
Expect a 200; the project transitions from INACTIVE back to ACTIVE / COMING_UP.
Poll GET /v1/projects/{ref}/health until healthy before routing traffic.

Known gotchas
Only a paused (INACTIVE) project can be restored; restoring an already-active project may 400 or no-op.
Restoring may take time and will incur compute charges while active.
If paused over 90 days, restore via API/Studio is no longer possible - you must migrate from backups instead.
Requires the projects:write capability / PAT privileges.
