Auto Shutdown

The service includes an automatic shutdown feature. By default, all new instances have this feature enabled.

  • Auto shutdown prevents new users from inadvertently incurring costs and depleting their credits with their instance unintentionally remaining online.

The feature is accessed from the App Launcher Settings, users can customize it according to their specific requirements.

  • After a specified duration since the service came online, the automatic shutdown process begins.

  • The user receives an initial notification 30 minutes before this time.

  • If no action is taken within this 30 minutes, the system proceeds with the shutdown, unless the user intervenes by manually shutting it down or postponing the scheduled shutdown.

This ensures efficient resource management and cost-effectiveness for users.
