To detach a block volume from a running Instance, relaunch the API call and omit the volume you want to hot unplug. Like so:
curl -q \ -H "X-Auth-Token: $SECRET_KEY" \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -X PATCH \ -d '{ "volumes": { "0": "7fe25caf-0a68-46a7-aeb9-63a278d33e2b", } }' \ https://api.scaleway.com/instance/v1/zones/fr-par-1/servers/be3c50af-e8f3-4ff4-90fe-66972f06670dSee Also
