Is it possible to find out when will RDS instance restart

Question

I have SQL Server instance that I stopped temporarily. Obviously, when it is stopped, it tells me when it will restart. But if it is already stopped - is there a way to find out this value? In console / CLI / API?

Documentation does not have this information. Does this mean that this is impossible?

[Documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_StopInstance.html) does not have this information. Does this mean that this is impossible?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can fetch that info for already stopped RDS instances.

In the  AWS console - Click on the name of the database and in the Summary section - Status you would see the text "Stopped temporarily". Clicking on this text would show you the restart time.

In the CLI, you can use the command aws rds describe-db-instances --db-instance-identifier  and look for a field AutomaticRestartTime in it's output
