Resize a Linode

post

https://api.linode.com/{apiVersion}/linode/instances/{linodeId}/resize

Resize a Linode to a different plan (type). Consider these points before resizing:

You can't have an outstanding balance on your account.
If any actions are currently running or queued for the Linode, you need to wait for them to complete before you can resize it.
The Linode can't be pending migration.
The Linode can't have more disk allocation than the new type supports. If this is the case, you ned to delete or resize the disk to be smaller.
You can also resize a Linode when using the Rebuild a Linode operation.
If you have Block Storage volumes attached to the Linode, you can't resize it to a type that supports fewer volumes. You need to delete volumes from the Linode to meet the limit supported by the smaller type.
