Automatic reclamation

Hello everyone,

 

I received an email today informing me that:

"Your Personal Developer Instance (PDI) is scheduled for automatic reclamation on September 24, 2026."

However, my last activity on the instance was only about a day ago.

I use my PDI every day, or at least every two days.

 

Could you please explain why I received this email? Am I really going to lose my PDI even though I still need it and actively use it?

 

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hi @jean-baptisp 

 

 

PDI gets reclaimed that meet both of these conditions: 

 

  • 90 days or older (based on when they were provisioned) 
  • Haven't had a PDI login in the last 10 days 

Refer: Keeping PDIs Available for Active Builders: Upcoming PDI Reclamation Changes

 

Please check this Personal Developer Instance (PDI) Guide

Where it is written-

"When a PDI is reclaimed, the instance is unassigned from you, reset to its original state, and reassigned to another Developer Site user. Reclaiming instances allows ServiceNow to supply active developer site user with free instances."

 

There is no support available in PDI.
