Body
Response
Successful response - returns array of kill-switch timer statuses
Trading pair the timer applies to.
"BTC_USDT"
Unix timestamp (seconds) when the timer was created or last reset.
1686127243
Unix timestamp (seconds) when the kill-switch will cancel orders. Equals startTime + timeout.
1686127343
Order types targeted by the kill-switch. Possible values: spot, margin, futures. Returns null when the timer was created without types (the kill-switch then targets all order types).
spot, margin, futures ["spot", "margin"]
