🧠 NovaGPU Instance Usage and Expiry – FAQ
Does my NovaGPU instance expire if I’m not using it?
No, your NovaGPU instance does not expire if it’s not actively being used. However, there are important factors to keep in mind regarding credit usage and instance management.
Will my cloud credits still be consumed if the instance is idle?
Yes. As long as the instance exists, it will continue to consume your cloud credits, including for:
- Compute resources
- Storage allocated to the instance
What should I do to avoid unnecessary cloud credit consumption?
To manage cloud credit usage effectively:
- Stop or terminate any unused instances
- You can always restart or recreate the instance when needed
What happens to an inactive instance?
An inactive NovaGPU instance:
- Remains in your account until you explicitly delete it
- Retains its configuration and data unless manually modified or deleted
Are there any best practices for managing NovaGPU instances?
Yes! Here are some recommended practices:
- Regularly review your active instances to ensure they are being used effectively
- Implement automated start/stop schedules for development or test environments
- Monitor cloud credit usage to avoid unexpected consumption
⚠️ Important Note: Simply leaving an instance unused does not prevent it from incurring charges. Always manage your resources proactively to maximize your cloud credit efficiency.
