The mobile angle is the smart bit here, coding really has become just texting. How do you handle cost on idle boxes?

Thanks! We aggressively spin down idle boxes. We'll put any box to sleep where the agent has finished its turn and you're not connected, and then we'll wake it again if you connect (firecracker VMs can sleep/wake very quickly). We don't charge for sleeping boxes (neither does our infra provider) so this keeps costs down for everyone.
