**hello, i have a watcher, with the time throttle, i used the api ack, i executed it with the id of the watcher and the action, but it did not work, since it does not restart the time throttle, which is what i need so that the alert is executed to me again only once, here i leave the code that i used and the history of the watch**

```

**this is the request api ack**

```auto
PUT _watcher/watch/4dd59c8e-3a6a-44c7-be65-8df2c4f39ad5/_ack/log

```

**and this is the response**

```auto
{
  "status" : {
    "state" : {
      "active" : true,
      "timestamp" : "2020-11-26T23:08:34.617Z"
    },
    "last_checked" : "2020-11-26T23:21:34.847Z",
    "last_met_condition" : "2020-11-26T23:21:34.847Z",
    "actions" : {
      "log" : {
        "ack" : {
          "timestamp" : "2020-11-26T23:13:34.864Z",
          "state" : "awaits_successful_execution"
        },
        "last_execution" : {
          "timestamp" : "2020-11-26T23:09:34.951Z",
          "successful" : true
        },
        "last_successful_execution" : {
          "timestamp" : "2020-11-26T23:09:34.951Z",
          "successful" : true
        },
        "last_throttle" : {
          "timestamp" : "2020-11-26T23:21:34.847Z",
          "reason" : "throttling interval is set to [1d] but time elapsed since last execution is [11.9m]"
        }
      }
    },
    "execution_state" : "throttled",
    "version" : 347
  }
}

```

**So as far as I'm concerned, my question is how can I restart the throttle without having to run the alert manually.**
