Get VPS snapshot schedule

GET /api/v2/vps/{id}/snapshot-schedules

Return the singleton snapshot schedule for a VPS, including plan availability and the actions.canEnable gate.

Get {id} from GET /api/v2/vps.

There is no per-schedule ID; POST replaces the singleton and DELETE removes it.

Snapshots are short-lived local block-on-write restore points for fast rollback, not offsite backups; snapshot items expose expiresAt and are automatically retained for about 24 hours.

If available is false or limits.totalSnapshots is 0, snapshots are not included on the current plan.

To buy or increase snapshot capacity, call GET /api/v2/vps/{id}/actions/upgrade, find configurableOptions[].key === "snapshotSlots", then preview/commit POST /api/v2/vps/{id}/actions/config with resources.snapshotSlots, or change to a plan that includes snapshots.

Use VPS backups for offsite, longer-term recovery; backup create/restore can take longer than snapshot rollback.
