# Disable a repurpose

> Turn off a running repurpose and clear its watermark.

Requires **manage repurposes** permission (Owner / Admin / Member). Viewers get `403`. Other-workspace IDs return `403`.

Conceptual guide: [Repurpose](/knowledge-base/repurposes).

Only an **active** or **paused** row can be disabled (`422` otherwise). Clears `activated_at`, `paused_reason`, and `next_poll_at`. The next [activate](/api-reference/endpoint/activate-repurpose) starts fresh — videos published while it was off are not backfilled.

## Response

Same shape as [`GET /repurposes/{repurpose}`](/api-reference/endpoint/get-repurpose), with `status` `disabled`.
