# epoch-status (/docs/query/epoch-status)

Bundles tempo, the last epoch run, the chain-computed next start block, and
the remaining blocks/seconds (seconds use the chain's detected block time,
so they are correct on fast-blocks chains too). `pending_epoch_at` is the
block of an owner-triggered epoch, or None when none is pending.
