# ReportInstanceStatus
<a name="API_ReportInstanceStatus"></a>

Submits feedback about the status of an instance. The instance must be in the `running` state. If your experience with the instance differs from the instance status returned by [DescribeInstanceStatus](API_DescribeInstanceStatus.md), use [ReportInstanceStatus](#API_ReportInstanceStatus) to report your experience with the instance. Amazon EC2 collects this information to improve the accuracy of status checks.

Use of this action does not change the value returned by [DescribeInstanceStatus](API_DescribeInstanceStatus.md).
