Shutdown

1 min read

Learn how to configure environment auto-off behavior.

You can specify the duration of inactivity allowed before an environment automatically shuts down. This helps you optimize your resource allocation since automatically shutting down idle environments can save resource availability and reduce costs.

An environment that's stopped must be rebuilt before it can be used again. All data outside of /home is lost during rebuild. Please store any changes you would like persisted across rebuilds with the Dotfiles feature.

Configuring Environment Shutdown Behavior

If you have administrative privileges, you can configure the environment shutdown behavior. Configuring the environment shutdown behavior is done at the organization level.

In the Coder dashboard, go to Manage > Organizations and choose the organization you'd like to modify.

Click Edit in the top-right. In the dialog that opens, use the slider underneath Environment Shutdown Behavior to select the maximum allowed duration.
