[Idempotency Supported](/docs/api/idempotency)

Travel forward in time. This operation is **asynchronous** .

You need to check if the "start afresh" operation has completed by checking if the time travel status is **successful** by retrieving the time machine in a loop with a minimum delay of 3 secs between two retrieve requests.

Use method **waitForTimeTravelCompletion()** on the returned time\_machine resource which will block until the time travel completes.

Use method **waitForTimeTravelCompletion()** on the returned time\_machine resource which will block until the time travel completes.
