Are you sure you are calling api.vms.get(vm_name) each time? Or are you
doing something like this:

vm = api.vms.get(vm_name)
while vm.status.state == "suspended":
    sleep(10)

If you are doing that the vm information is retrieved only once, not
each time. If this is the case try something like this:

while api.vms.get(VM_NAME).status.state == "suspended":
    sleep(1)

Can you share that snippet of code so that I can try to reproduce it?
