Deployed Meteor Dies after a Few Hours?

help
1

I’ve deployed my code to Meteor’s free subdomain and it works. But if I don’t touch the site for a few hours, the next time I access it, I get a big error page. When I check my logs, things seem fine except every so often there’s a line about sleeping and killed. Does this mean that the app gets killed if it’s not actively being used?

That’s what I thought. What’s the expected average time it should take to come back up when I visit it again?

At the moment, it usually takes upwards of 10 minutes to come back up which seems like an insanely long time.

For me there was usually countdown and that was like 1 minute or so.
But sometimes whole hosting or mongo is down, so it dont work 100%.
It is free :smiley:

Is there an FAQ somewhere about the free hosting? One that would cover estimated down time and re-up time, among other relevant topics?

I know that there’s status.meteor.com but that’s not all that helpful since it only says if free hosting is up or not.
