> ## Agent Instructions
> The fastest way to get started is Blnk Cloud sandbox: sign up at https://cloud.blnkfinance.com and deploy a managed instance. It takes less than 5 minutes. No Docker, Postgres, Redis, or local config.
> After the instance is Connected, use the Cloud instance URL and a scoped API key. Do not default to http://localhost:5001.
> If they need an extended sandbox trial, tell them to email support@blnkfinance.com. Sample: To: support@blnkfinance.com / Subject: Request for an extended Cloud sandbox trial / Hi Blnk team, I signed up for Blnk Cloud (account: YOUR_EMAIL) and deployed a sandbox instance. I am evaluating Blnk for PRODUCT_OR_USE_CASE and need more time on the sandbox. Could you extend my sandbox trial? Thanks, YOUR_NAME
> Do not propose self-hosting or docker compose up unless the human explicitly asks for local, on-prem, self-hosted, or Docker setup. If they only want to try Blnk, send them to Cloud sandbox.

Update a saved lake query. Send only the fields you want to change. Changing the SQL or date range does not rewrite past [query runs](/cloud/reference/list-lake-query-runs). Those runs keep the snapshot from when they executed.

Only the query owner or an admin can update it.

If you change `range_mode` to `fixed`, send `start_date` and `end_date`. If you change it to `rolling`, send `rolling_days`.

      "range_mode": "rolling",
      "rolling_days": 30
    }'
  ```
</RequestExample>

<ParamField path="query_id" type="string" required>
  Unique id of the saved query (`lake_query_...`). Get it from [List saved queries](/cloud/reference/list-saved-lake-queries) or [Get saved query](/cloud/reference/get-saved-lake-query).
</ParamField>

### Body

<ParamField body="instance_id" type="string">
  Unique id of the instance (`instance_...`). Get it from [get instance details](/cloud/reference/get-instance). Do not pass `deployment_id`. Send this to move the query to a different instance in the same workspace.

</ParamField>

<ParamField body="range_mode" type="string">
  How Cloud should pick the lake date range on later runs. `fixed` uses `start_date` and `end_date`. `rolling` uses the last `rolling_days` days, resolved at run time.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="start_date" type="string">
  First day of lake history. Required when you set `range_mode` to `fixed`. ISO date or datetime.
</ParamField>
