By default, Pods automatically shut off after 1 hour of no network activity.


To change the Pod’s auto shutoff interval, select the pod of interest, and click Manage Pod to navigate to the Pod’s Settings page.

  • When auto shutdown is enabled, the minimum delay before the Pod can be shut down is 15 minutes.
  • If Pod’s auto shutdown is disabled, the Pod will always be running. This behaviour is often undesirable, except in the case where you want an always-on Pod for running an application server or long-running scripts.
To configure auto shutdown using systemd, check out our guide!
