The Fund pays for the advisory, supervisory and administrative services it requires under what is essentially an all-in fee structure (the “unified management fee”). Pursuant to an investment management agreement, PIMCO is paid a Management Fee of 1.10% of the Fund’s average daily total managed assets. The Fund (and not PIMCO) will be responsible for certain fees and expenses, which are reflected in the table above, that are not covered by the unified management fee under the investment management agreement. Please see “Management of the Fund –Investment Management Agreement” in the accompanying Prospectus for an explanation of the unified management fee and definition of “total managed assets.” (2) Reflects the Fund’s use of leverage in the form of reverse repurchase agreements averaged over the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, which represented 42.06% of the Fund’s total managed assets (including assets attributable to reverse repurchase agreements) as of that date, at an annual interest rate cost to the Fund of 4.21%, which is the weighted average interest rate cost during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. See “Use of Leverage—Effects of Leverage.” The actual amount of interest expense borne by the Fund will vary over time in accordance with the level of the Fund’s use of reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls/buy backs and/or borrowings and variations in market interest rates. Borrowing expense is required to be treated as an expense of the Fund for accounting purposes. Any associated income or gains (or losses) realized from leverage obtained through such instruments is not reflected in the Annual Expenses table above, but would be reflected in the Fund’s performance results. (3) Other expenses are estimated for the Fund’s current fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. (4) “Interest Payments on Borrowed Funds” is borne by the Fund separately from the management fees paid to PIMCO. Excluding such expenses, Total Annual Expenses are 1.92%. | ||||||||||

| Expense Example [Table Text Block] | Example The following example illustrates the expenses that you would pay on a $1,000 investment in Common Shares of the Fund (including an assumed total sales load or commission of 1.00% and the other estimated costs of this offering to be borne by the Common Shareholders of 0.03%, assuming (1) that the Fund’s net assets do not increase or decrease, (2) that the Fund incurs total annual expenses of 5.12% of net assets attributable to Common Shares in years 1 through 10 (assuming assets attributable to reverse repurchase agreements representing approximately 42.06% of the Fund’s total managed assets) and (3) a 5% annual return (1) : 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years Total Expenses Incurred $51 $154 $256 $511 (1) The example above should not be considered a representation of future expenses. Actual expenses may be higher or lower than those shown. The example assumes that the estimated Interest Payments on Borrowed Funds and Other Expenses set forth in the Annual Expenses table are accurate, that the rate listed under Total Annual Expenses remains the same each year and that all dividends and distributions are reinvested at NAV. Actual expenses may be greater or less than those assumed. Moreover, the Fund’s actual rate of return may be greater or less than the hypothetical 5% annual return shown in the example. | ||||||||||

| Purpose of Fee Table , Note [Text Block] | The following table is intended to assist investors in understanding the fees and expenses (annualized) that an investor in Common Shares of the Fund would bear, directly or indirectly, as a result of an offering. The table reflects the use of leverage in the form of reverse repurchase agreements in an amount equal to approximately 42.06% of the Fund’s total average managed assets (including assets attributable to reverse repurchase agreements), which reflects the percentage of the Fund's total average managed assets attributable to such leverage averaged over the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, and shows Fund expenses as a percentage of net assets attributable to Common Shares. The percentage above does not reflect the Fund’s use of other forms of economic leverage, such as credit default swaps or other derivative instruments. The extent of the Fund’s assets attributable to leverage following an offering, and the Fund’s associated expenses, are likely to vary (perhaps significantly) from these assumptions. | ||||||||||

| Investment Objectives and Practices [Text Block] | Investment Objectives The Fund seeks current income as a primary objective and capital appreciation as a secondary objective. Investment Strategy The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by utilizing a dynamic asset allocation strategy among multiple fixed income sectors in the global credit markets, including corporate debt (including, among other things, fixed-, variable- and floating-rate bonds, loans (including, but not limited to, bank and/or other syndicated loans and non-syndicated (private direct) loans), convertible securities and stressed debt securities issued by U.S. or foreign (non-U.S. and emerging market) corporations or other business entities), mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, government and sovereign debt, taxable municipal bonds and other fixed-, variable- and floating-rate income-producing securities of U.S. and foreign (including emerging market) issuers. The Fund may invest in investment grade debt securities and below investment grade debt securities (commonly referred to as “high yield” securities or “junk bonds”), including securities of defaulted and stressed issuers. The types of securities and instruments in which the Fund may invest are summarized under “Portfolio Contents” in the accompanying Prospectus. The Fund cannot assure you that it will achieve its investment objectives, and you could lose all of your investment in the Fund. | ||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | Risks Investment in the Common Shares involves substantial risks arising from, among other strategies, the Fund’s ability to invest in debt instruments that are, at the time of purchase, rated below investment grade (below Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or below BBB- by either S&P Global Ratings or Fitch, Inc.) or unrated but determined by Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO” or the “Investment Manager”) to be of comparable quality, the Fund’s exposure to foreign (including emerging market) securities and currencies and to mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, and the Fund’s use of leverage. Debt securities of below investment grade quality are regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to capacity to pay interest and to repay principal, and are commonly referred to as “high yield” securities or “junk bonds.” The Fund’s exposure to foreign securities and currencies, and particularly to emerging markets securities and currencies, involves special risks, including foreign currency risk and the risk that the securities may decline in response to unfavorable political and legal developments, unreliable or untimely information or economic and financial instability. Mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are subject to extension and prepayment risk and often have complicated structures that make them difficult to value. Because of the risks associated with investing in high yield securities, foreign (including emerging market) securities (and related exposure to foreign currencies) and mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, and using leverage, an investment in the Fund should be considered speculative. The sale of Common Shares by the Fund (or the perception that such sales may occur), particularly if sold at a discount to the then-current market price of the Common Shares, may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Common Shares. Before investing in the Common Shares, you should read the discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Fund in “Principal Risks of the Fund” in the accompanying Prospectus. Certain of these risks are summarized in “Prospectus Summary—Principal Risks of the Fund” in the accompanying Prospectus. The Fund cannot assure you that it will achieve its investment objectives, and you could lose all of your investment in the Fund. | ||||||||||
