# Reschedule a scheduled event for an EC2 instance
Reschedule scheduled events

You can reschedule an event so that it occurs at a specific date and time that suits you. After you reschedule an event, it might take a minute or two before the the updated date is displayed.

**Limitations**
+ Only events with an event deadline date can be rescheduled. The event can be rescheduled up to the event deadline date. The event deadline date is indicated in the **Deadline** column (console) and the `NotBeforeDeadline` field (AWS CLI).
+ Only events that have not yet started can be rescheduled. The start time is indicated in the **Start time** column (console) and the `NotBefore` field (AWS CLI). Events that are scheduled to start in the next 5 minutes can't be rescheduled.
+ The new event start time must be at least 60 minutes from the current time.
+ If you reschedule multiple events using the console, the event deadline date is determined by the event with the earliest event deadline date.

#### [ Console ]

**To reschedule an event**

1. Open the Amazon EC2 console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/).

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Events**.

1. Choose **Resource type: instance** from the filter list.

1. Select one or more instances, and then choose **Actions**, **Schedule event**.

   Only events that have an event deadline date, indicated by a value for **Deadline**, can be rescheduled. If one of the selected events does not have a deadline date, **Actions**, **Schedule event** is disabled.

1. For **New start time**, enter a new date and time for the event. The new date and time must occur before the **Event deadline**.

1. Choose **Save**.

   It might take a minute or two for the updated event start time to be reflected in the console.
