Status code: 200

**Table 3** Response body parameters
Parameter	Type	Description
id	String	Definition ID of an auto scaling policy. Range N/A
instance_id	String	Definition Instance ID. Range The value contains 36 characters with a suffix of in07. Only letters and digits are allowed.
instance_name	String	Definition Instance name. Range The name must start with a letter and consist of 4 to 64 characters. Only letters (case-sensitive), digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_) are allowed.
status	String	Definition Whether auto scaling is enabled. Range ON: enabled OFF: disabled
monitor_cycle	Integer	Definition Observation period, in seconds. During the entire observation period, if the average CPU usage is greater than or equal to the preset value, a scale-up is triggered. Range 300 600 900 1800
silence_cycle	Integer	Definition Silent period, in seconds. It indicates the minimum interval between two auto scale-up operations or two auto scale-down operations. Range 300 600 1800 3600 7200 10800 86400 604800
enlarge_threshold	Integer	Definition Average CPU usage. Range 50-100
max_flavor	String	Definition Maximum specifications. Range Maximum specifications that can be changed for an instance at the current site.
reduce_enabled	Boolean	Definition Whether auto scale-down is enabled. Range true: enabled false: disabled
min_flavor	String	Definition Minimum specifications. Range Minimum specifications that can be changed for an instance at the current site.
silence_start_at	String	Definition Start time of the silent period (end time of the last change). The format is yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ. T is the separator between the calendar and the hourly notation of time. Z indicates the time zone offset. For example, in the Beijing time zone, the offset is +0800. Range N/A
scaling_strategy	ScalingStrategyInfo object	Definition Auto scaling policy.
max_read_only_count	Integer	Definition Maximum number of read replicas. Range 2 ≤ Number of current read replicas < Preset value ≤ 15
min_read_only_count	Integer	Definition Minimum number of read replicas. Range 1–14
read_only_weight	Integer	Definition Read weights of read replicas. Range 0–1000

**Table 4** ScalingStrategyInfo
Parameter	Type	Description
flavor_switch	String	Definition Whether instance specifications can be automatically scaled up or down. Range ON: Yes OFF: No
read_only_switch	String	Definition Whether read replicas can be automatically added or deleted. Range ON: Yes OFF: No
