Retest an incident's monitor

POST
/incidents/{id}/retest
curl --request POST \
--url https://app.tunnelhq.com/api/v1/incidents/inc_318/retest \
--header 'X-API-Key: <X-API-Key>' \
--header 'X-Project-Id: prj_12'

Queues a test of the incident’s monitor from Any location and returns at once. Needs a role that can edit monitors (Owner, Admin, or Manager) and uses one on-demand test from the plan’s monthly quota. The result appears in the monitor’s results and updates its status; the incident closes once the monitor has recovered.

A usage limit was reached, or this IP address made too many requests with a wrong key.

Usage limits are per workspace and plan: per minute (Retry-After: 60), per day (Retry-After: 3600), and per month (no Retry-After). They use their own body shape. An IP address may send 10 wrong keys a minute; one more is allowed every 6 seconds. While that allowance is used up, every request from the address is refused, even one with a valid key.
