Hi @ZebaD 

I've been using PDI without any issues since this morning, but I've noticed several posts in the community about PDI being offline. Here are some points to consider:

1. There is no support available for PDI.
2. If you can wait, let's wait a bit longer.
3. You can release this instance and start a new one, but you will lose your previous data. To avoid losing update sets in the future, make sure to take regular backups of your PDI.

There have been 3-4 posts in the community today about PDI failures or unavailability. Based on the responses, you might need to wait 1-2 days and hopefully, the PDI will be back online.

@ZebaD If you have already been waiting for quite some time then I suggest you to release the existing PDI instance and request for a fresh one. Unfortunately, there is no official support available for the Personal Development Instances and requesting a new instance is only solution available to resolve it.

Hello @ZebaD 

I encountered a similar issue previously, and my instance became available again after 2-3 days. I recommend waiting patiently for a couple of days, as it might resolve itself. If the instance remains offline even after 3-4 days, you may need to release the current instance and request a new one.

Note: There is no support available for PDI. It is reclaimed if not used for more than 10 days. 

Hope this helps!

Hi @ZebaD 

When your ServiceNow PDI (Personal Developer Instance) goes offline, it usually happens due to inactivity. Instances are automatically reclaimed after a certain period of inactivity or become unavailable due to maintenance of PDIs.

Things to keep in mind-

1. ServiceNow does not have support available for PDI.
2. Usually, you can wait for some time if it says the instance will be available after the scheduled maintenance. You can wait around 3-4 days if you have some development done on PDIs without having a backup.
3. Another way is that you can release your current instance or request a new one if it's urgently required.
4. Please backup your changes every time, whenever you leave your PDIs after some development POCs to avoid unexpected delay.
