Restarts and uptime
What happens when an app crashes, and when we stop trying.
Automatic restarts
A process that exits is started again within a minute. You do not need to watch for it, and it happens whether or not you are online.
Crash loops
Five restarts in thirty minutes and we stop, mark the app crashed, and notify you.
That limit exists because an app failing on startup fails identically every time. Restarting it forever burns capacity and, worse, makes a broken app look like a running one. Stopping makes the problem visible.
Manual control
A stopped app keeps its slot, its code and its settings. Stopping is not deleting, and it does not reduce your bill — you are paying for the slot.
