Runtime and auto renew

How runtime works

Credit-based servers use paid runtime. A base server costs 3 credits for each 24-hour block. Upgrades increase that server’s daily cost. Each server has its own time-left counter.

Add time manually

1. 1
   Open the Discord server management page.
2. 2
   Find Add runtime.
3. 3
   Choose 1 day, 2 days, or 3 days.
4. 4
   The button shows the exact number of credits that will be used.
5. 5
   After payment, the selected time is added to the existing expiry time. A credit-suspended server is unsuspended when possible.

Enable auto renew

1. 1
   Open the server management page.
2. 2
   Find Auto renew.
3. 3
   Press Turn auto renew on.
4. 4
   When the server has about one hour left, the system tries to use the current daily cost and add another 24 hours.
5. 5
   If the server is already near expiry when auto renew is enabled, one day may be added immediately.

Unlimited credits

When Unlimited is active, supported credit-based renewals do not reduce the normal wallet balance. The server still uses runtime blocks and auto renew still needs to be enabled for automatic extension.

Recover a suspended server

1. 1
   Open Discord Bot Hosting and check the wallet.
2. 2
   Earn or buy enough credits for the server’s current daily cost.
3. 3
   Open the server and add at least one day of runtime.
4. 4
   Enable auto renew if you want future automatic renewal.
5. 5
   Open Pterodactyl and start the process if it did not start automatically.
