How it's used
Focuses on the return to a previous state or condition, often used in formal or news contexts regarding services, supply, or health. While it implies a return to normalcy, it carries a slightly more serious or official tone compared to simply saying something is back to how it was.
Examples
MTR service has already resumed to normal.
Rest more and your body will recover quickly.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 回復, which is more commonly used for recovering one's health or replying to a message. While they share similar characters, 恢復 is preferred for systems, services, and abstract states, whereas 回復 is more personal.
