runpod_pod_start
Resume a stopped RunPod pod by ID to re-attach GPU and restart billing. Use after stopping a pod to continue work.
Instructions
Start (resume) a stopped/exited RunPod pod by ID — RunPod re-attaches a GPU and boots the container (billing resumes). Returns immediately once RunPod accepts the resume; the pod then takes ~30-90s to become reachable, so follow with runpod_pod_status (or runpod_pod_connect, which waits) rather than assuming it's instantly up. If RunPod can't allocate the requested GPU it errors — try a different gpu_count or GPU type in the console.
