Edit, pause, resume, or delete a scheduled task

Learn how to manage an existing scheduled task, including editing inputs, pausing, resuming, running now, and deleting it.

Use the Scheduled Tasks dashboard when recurring work needs a schedule change, a short pause, a one-time manual run, or cleanup. Managing a task does not spend credits by itself; credits are used when an AI Tool run starts.

Before you start

Open Scheduled Tasks from the app sidebar. The Overview tab summarizes task health, and the Manage tab lists each scheduled task with its status, schedule, last run, and next run.

You need an existing scheduled task in the organization. If the task was paused because of credits or repeated run issues, review the reason before resuming it.

Open a task's controls

  1. Go to Scheduled Tasks.
  2. Select Manage.
  3. Find the task you want to change.
  4. Open the row actions menu and select View Details.

The task detail sheet shows the available actions for that task. Active tasks show Run Now, Pause, Edit, and Delete. Paused or failed tasks show Resume instead of Pause.

Edit a scheduled task

Use Edit when the saved inputs or task details need to change. The task keeps using its saved schedule unless you change the schedule in the edit flow.

Before saving, review:

  • The task name and description.
  • The saved AI Tool inputs.
  • The schedule and timezone.
  • The next run timing.
  • Any max-run or auto-pause settings shown in the flow.

Changes apply to future scheduled runs. They do not rewrite past executions or past outputs.

Pause or resume a task

Use Pause when you want to stop future scheduled runs without deleting the task. A paused task stays in the dashboard so you can review its schedule, inputs, and history.

Use Resume when the task is ready to run again. Resuming a paused or failed task recalculates the next run and clears the visible failure tracking for the resumed task.

Before resuming, check whether the task paused because of credits, source data availability, or repeated run issues. The next run uses the saved task settings, so edit the inputs first if the task should change.

Run a task now

Use Run Now when you want to start the task once without waiting for its next scheduled time. The task still keeps its normal schedule for future runs.

Run Now starts an AI Tool run, so it can use credits just like a scheduled run. Review the task inputs before using it if the saved prompt, file, project, or source should change.

Delete a scheduled task

Use Delete only when the task should stop permanently. Ampere asks you to confirm before deleting the task.

Deleting a scheduled task stops all future executions. The product confirmation explains that execution history is preserved, but the delete action itself cannot be undone.

If you only need a temporary stop, pause the task instead of deleting it.
