to the URL.

**Arguments**:

**Returns**:

- `PortPreviewUrl` - The response object for the preview link, which includes the `url`
  and the `token` (to access private sandboxes).
  

**Example**:

```

Creates a signed preview URL for the sandbox at the specified port.

**Arguments**:

#### AsyncSandbox.archive

```python
@intercept_errors(message_prefix="Failed to archive sandbox: ")
@with_instrumentation()
async def archive() -> None
```

Archives the sandbox, making it inactive and preserving its state. When sandboxes are
archived, the entire filesystem state is moved to cost-effective object storage, making it
possible to keep sandboxes available for an extended period. The tradeoff between archived
and stopped states is that starting an archived sandbox takes more time, depending on its size.
Sandbox must be stopped before archiving.

#### AsyncSandbox.resize

```python
@intercept_errors(message_prefix="Failed to resize sandbox: ")
@with_timeout()
@with_instrumentation()
async def resize(resources: Resources, timeout: float | None = 60) -> None
```

Resizes the Sandbox resources.

Changes the CPU, memory, or disk allocation for the Sandbox. Hot resize (on running
sandbox) only allows CPU/memory increases. Disk resize requires a stopped sandbox.

**Arguments**:

- `resources` _Resources_ - New resource configuration. Only specified fields will be updated.
  - cpu: Number of CPU cores (minimum: 1). For hot resize, can only be increased.
  - memory: Memory in GiB (minimum: 1). For hot resize, can only be increased.
  - disk: Disk space in GiB (can only be increased, requires stopped sandbox).
- `timeout` _Optional[float]_ - Timeout (in seconds) for the resize operation. 0 means no timeout.
  Default is 60 seconds.
  

**Raises**:

- `DaytonaError` - If hot resize constraints are violated (CPU/memory decrease on running sandbox).
- `DaytonaError` - If disk resize attempted on running sandbox.
- `DaytonaError` - If disk size decrease is attempted.
- `DaytonaError` - If resize operation times out.
- `DaytonaError` - If no resource changes are specified.
  

**Example**:

```python
# Increase CPU/memory on running sandbox (hot resize)
await sandbox.resize(Resources(cpu=4, memory=8))

# Change disk (sandbox must be stopped)
await sandbox.stop()
await sandbox.resize(Resources(cpu=2, memory=4, disk=30))
```

#### AsyncSandbox.wait\_for\_resize\_complete

```python
@intercept_errors(
    message_prefix="Failure during waiting for resize to complete: ")
@with_timeout()
@with_instrumentation()
async def wait_for_resize_complete(timeout: float | None = 60) -> None
```

Waits for the Sandbox resize operation to complete. Polls the Sandbox status until
the state is no longer 'resizing'.

**Arguments**:

- `timeout` _Optional[float]_ - Maximum time to wait in seconds. 0 means no timeout. Default is 60 seconds.
  

**Raises**:

- `DaytonaError` - If timeout is negative. If resize operation times out.

#### AsyncSandbox.create\_ssh\_access

```python
@intercept_errors(message_prefix="Failed to create SSH access: ")
@with_instrumentation()
async def create_ssh_access(
        expires_in_minutes: int | None = None) -> SshAccessDto
```

Creates an SSH access token for the sandbox.

**Arguments**:

**Arguments**:

- `token` _str_ - The token to revoke.

#### AsyncSandbox.validate\_ssh\_access

```python

@with_instrumentation()
async def validate_ssh_access(token: str) -> SshAccessValidationDto
```

Validates an SSH access token for the sandbox.

**Arguments**:

- `token` _str_ - The token to validate.

#### AsyncSandbox.refresh\_activity

```python
@intercept_errors(message_prefix="Failed to refresh sandbox activity: ")
async def refresh_activity() -> None
```

Refreshes the sandbox activity to reset the timer for automated lifecycle management actions.

This method updates the sandbox's last activity timestamp without changing its state.
It is useful for keeping long-running sessions alive while there is still user activity.

**Example**:

```python
await sandbox.refresh_activity()
```
