   I think there's not restart option right now. If you needed restart the pod you can first call the runpod.stop_pod(pod_id) then wait for the pod to stop e.g time.sleep(wait_time) then use resume_result = runpod.resume_pod(pod_id, gpu_count)

   Stopping the pod resets the data, which I don't want. Restarting it doesn't delete the data.

   I've filed a bug with the team, thanks for this report. It does seem that there are deeper issues after my investigation and I've passed it along in a ticket.

   As an unofficial work around, what I've done is I wrote a script you can run in your chrome console:

   When you click the restart button will show you an api request you can make that the restart button is making. I've checked it works.

   Not officially supported, but depending on your use case this could be a temporary hold over.

   // Network Request Interceptor for Pod Restart
   (() => {
     console.log('🚀 Pod Restart Network Interceptor Active');
     
     // Store original fetch
     const originalFetch = window.fetch;
     
     // Override fetch to log requests
     window.fetch = async function(...args) {
       const [url, options = {}] = args;
       
       // Check if this is a restart request
       if (url.includes('/restart')) {
         console.group('🔄 POD RESTART REQUEST DETECTED');
         console.log('📍 URL:', url);
         console.log('🔧 Method:', options.method || 'GET');
         console.log('📋 Headers:', options.headers || 'No headers');
         console.log('📦 Body:', options.body || 'No body');
         
         // Log all headers if they exist
         if (options.headers) {
           console.log('📑 Header Details:');
           if (options.headers instanceof Headers) {
             for (let [key, value] of options.headers.entries()) {
               console.log(`  ${key}: ${value}`);
             }
           } else {
             console.log(options.headers);
           }
         }
         
         // Create curl command
         let curlCommand = `curl --request ${options.method || 'GET'} \\\n  --url "${url}"`;
         
         if (options.headers) {
           if (options.headers instanceof Headers) {
             for (let [key, value] of options.headers.entries()) {
               curlCommand += ` \\\n  --header "${key}: ${value}"`;
