.{agents} remain in an "Upgrade scheduled" state
[%collapsible]
====

*Details* +

There is a known issue where {agent} remains in an `Upgrade scheduled` state when a scheduled {agent} upgrade is cancelled. Attempting to restart the upgrade on the UI returns an error: `The selected agent is not upgradeable: agent is already being upgraded.`.

*Impact* +

Until this issue is fixed in a later patch version, you can call the https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/kibana/operation/operation-post-fleet-agents-agentid-upgrade[Upgrade an agent] endpoint of the Kibana Fleet API with the `force` parameter set to `true` to force-upgrade the {agent}:

[source,shell]
----
curl --request POST \
--url https://<KIBANA_HOST>/api/fleet/agents/<AGENT_ID>/upgrade \
--user "<SUPERUSER_NAME>:<SUPERUSER_PASSWORD>" \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'kbn-xsrf: true' \
--data '{"version": "<VERSION>","force": true}'
----

To force-upgrade multiple {agents}, call the https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/kibana/operation/operation-post-fleet-agents-bulk-upgrade[Bulk upgrade agents] endpoint of the Kibana Fleet API with the `force` parameter set to `true`:

[source,shell]
----
curl --request POST \
--url https://<KIBANA_HOST>/api/fleet/agents/bulk_upgrade \
--user "<SUPERUSER_NAME>:<SUPERUSER_PASSWORD>" \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'kbn-xsrf: true' \
--data '{"version": "<VERSION>","force": true,"agents":["<AGENT_IDS>"]}'
