Get a console in your sprite. Run “screen”. Run a loop in there : while date; do sleep 1; done. Detach screen and exit the session. Wait a few minutes and go back into the sprite. Reattach screen. You’ll see a gap in the timestamps.
They do suspend even when they say they are “running”.

Yeah. My sprites never idled inspite of having nothing running in them and had to be destroyed. Ideally there should be two settings
1. A timeout after the last console session is exited 2. Force idle using the CLI
Just tried it again. Creation took a very long time, then errored.
But despite the error, the sprite was apparently created, and it runs continuously.Get a console in your sprite. Run “screen”. Run a loop in there : while date; do sleep 1; done.
