Cold boot/start of the server for first request

Hi shubham,

Free instance types spin down after 15 minutes of inactivity and then will restart when they next receive a request. This behavior is documented at https://render.com/docs/free.

If you need your service always be available, moving to a paid instance type avoids this behavior, and the service will remain running constantly.

To change the instance type, follow these steps:

  • Navigate to the service in our dashboard
  • Open the ‘settings’ tab
  • Click on the ‘Change Instance Type’ button
  • Select the instance type you wish to use (the minimum to avoid sleeping is Starter)
  • If you want to change back to the free instance type, repeat this process but select ‘free’
