Demote a production branch to development
branches
// what it does
Reverses a promotion, turning a production branch back into a development branch — losing HA and daily backups. Used when decommissioning an environment or undoing an accidental promote.
// shell
$ pscale branch demote mydb old-prod// gotcha
Demoting drops the production safety rails (backup cadence, HA) immediately; if apps still point at this branch, they're now running on a dev-grade instance.
