You can update a capacity provider's managed termination protection setting using the `update-capacity-provider` command:

To enable managed termination protection:

```
aws ecs update-capacity-provider \
  --name CapacityProviderName \
  --auto-scaling-group-provider "managedScaling={status=ENABLED,targetCapacity=70,minimumScalingStepSize=1,maximumScalingStepSize=10},managedTerminationProtection=ENABLED"
```

To disable managed termination protection:

```
aws ecs update-capacity-provider \
  --name CapacityProviderName \
  --auto-scaling-group-provider "managedScaling={status=ENABLED,targetCapacity=70,minimumScalingStepSize=1,maximumScalingStepSize=10},managedTerminationProtection=DISABLED"
```

**Note**  
It might take a few minutes for the changes to take effect across your cluster. When enabling managed termination protection, instances that are already running tasks will be protected from scale-in events. When disabling managed termination protection, the protection flag will be removed from instances during the next ECS capacity provider management cycle.
