Why Azure Compute did not shut down automatically after I put laptop in sleep?

Question

I have set the idle auto shutdown to 15 minutes. Then my laptop is on sleep mode, the lid has off. It has run for entire night without I realizing. Why?

Hi @Sin Yee Teoh ,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A with your question regarding the Azure Compute idle auto shutdown feature.

The Azure Compute idle auto shutdown is designed to kick in when the compute instance is considered inactive based on certain conditions. These conditions include:

1. No active Jupyter Kernel sessions
2. No active Jupyter terminal sessions
3. No active Azure Machine Learning runs or experiments
4. No SSH connections
5. No VS Code connections (VS Code sessions are autoterminated if no activity is detected for 3 hours)
6. No custom applications running on the compute.

I recommend reviewing the running processes and connections on your compute instance during the times when you expect it to be idle. Ensure that there are no active sessions or applications that might keep the instance active.

For more information, please refer the documentation Azure Compute auto shutdown conditions.

Thank you for understanding!
