# Settings: Temporarily Disable Block Lists
## Endpoint
`/api/settings/temporaryDisableBlocking`
**Obsolete Path:** `/api/temporaryDisableBlocking`
## Method
GET
## Description
Temporarily disables the block lists and block list zones for a specified number of minutes.
## Authentication
Required. Token must have **Settings: Modify** permission.
## Parameters
| `token` | string | Yes | No | Session token from `login` or `createToken`. |

## Conditional Logic Notes
- This API call is **automatically synced** across all Cluster nodes when Clustering is initialized.
## Edge Cases
- Calling this endpoint again while blocking is already temporarily disabled will update the disable-until time.
- The returned timestamp uses sub-second precision (7 fractional digits).
