Power

Power On

To power on the instance, follow these steps:

1. Open the instance management console.
2. Locate the power button and click on it.
3. The instance is now active.

Once powered on, your PocketBase instance will be able to receive requests and respond accordingly.

Power Off

To power off the instance, follow these steps:

1. Open the instance management console.
2. Locate the power button and click on it.
3. Wait for the instance to shut down.

When the instance is powered off, no requests will be answered.

Power and billing

Pay Per PocketBase billing is per instance, whether the instance is powered on or off. Powering an instance off stops it from answering requests, but it doesn’t free up room for another instance. To make room, delete an instance or add another.

If you have more instances than your plan includes, for example after your plan goes down, only as many as your plan includes can be powered on. To power one on, power another off first, or add instances. See When your plan goes down.
