Skip or delay an auto-stop scheduled shutdown
A platform engineer or project admin can schedule a time for dev boxes in a pool to stop automatically, to ensure efficient resource use and provide cost management.
You can delay the shutdown or skip it altogether. This flexibility allows you to manage your work and resources more effectively, ensuring that your projects remain uninterrupted when necessary.
Change scheduled shutdown from the dev box
If your dev box is in a pool with a stop schedule, you receive a notification about 30 minutes before the scheduled shutdown giving you time to save your work or make necessary adjustments.
Delay the shutdown
In the pop-up notification, select a time to delay the shutdown for, such as Delay 1 Hour.
Select Delay.
Skip the shutdown
You can also choose to skip the next scheduled shutdown altogether. In the pop-up notification, select Skip.
The dev box doesn't shut down until the next scheduled shutdown time.
Change scheduled shutdown from the developer portal
In the developer portal, you can see the scheduled shutdown time on the dev box tile. You can delay or skip the shutdown from the more options (...) menu.
Delay the shutdown
Locate your dev box.
On the more options (...) menu, select Delay scheduled shutdown.
In the Delay shutdown until dropdown list, select the time that you want to delay the shutdown until. You can delay the shutdown by up to 8 hours from the scheduled time.
Select Delay.
Skip the shutdown
Locate your dev box.
On the more options (...) menu, select Delay scheduled shutdown.
In the Delay shutdown until dropdown list, select the last available option, which specifies the time 8 hours after the scheduled shutdown time. In this example, the last option is 6:30 pm tomorrow (skip).
Select Delay.
