I have to wake my personal dev instance daily

[Maheshwar Elang]

Hi,

Each day I have to wake up my instance. Example today, I did configurations around 4:00 AM and on the same day when checked around 2:00 PM, the instance is hibernating.

Why is this happening even when I keep using the instance?

And once the instance sleeps, chrome / internet explorer browser saves the state of it and keeps showing "Hibernating" even after waking up the instance. Clearing cache works but not always. I end up waking up the instance around 3 to 4 times daily before I could start using them.

If anyone has a way around this "hibernating issue", would be really helpful.

Understood, but 6 hours still is too short.   I could understand maybe once a day, but it's not realistic for someone to be in their instance every six hours.   Maybe we need to start sharing them across teams.   As an individual, it is just too time-consuming to go through the entire "waking" process once or twice a day.   I'll probably be using partner instances most of the time instead.

How long does it take to wake the instances?

This is how a few people ruin a great thing for a lot of people.

Can't agree more. This is reasons things get this messy....

The instance goes to sleep if you don't use it in 6 hours... I myself have to wake it in the morning(2-3min max) and I'll do it when I get my coffee. Then I do stuff in it through the day and it works like it should. Sometimes I have to wake it up in the evening if I didn't do so much under the day...

I don't understand the problem for a free instance... People are getting to greedy.

True, I actually think that people should get a warning and then a timeout->ban if continuing with stuff like that.
