Scale to zero
I am on the scale plan. And in the documentation it is saying that I should be able to configure the scale to zero time from 5 minutes and down. As you can see in the screenshot I am only able to turn scale to zero on/off.

Hey! You can configure the compute to scale to zero after down to 1 minute by using the Neon API. Once you create a compute node using the API with a scale to zero time different than 5 minutes, a new input field will be available in the scale to zero options. We're actually working on something internally to make this more ergonomic.

Thank you for the answer. Seems like there is a lot of misinformation in the documentation, that was pointing else-where.

You're absolutely right. Another user recently had the same problem as you, and we're working to make things more clear going forward. Thank you for the feedback 🙂

To be honest, I am quite frustrated as it always declares that scsle offers 5 seconds, not 1 minute. Also Ask Neon confirms this with 3 sources. The only place where you changed this to 1 minute is the pricing overview.
As this is a major cost driver, changing this often secretly is not what I am expecting from Neon. You're not the new Cursor and this should be fixed with a blog post.

@Sam I was also wondering about this. Because I also got the idea that when I bought the scale plan, that I would be able to do 5 seconds

Following up with the team to see what is going on, sorry for the conflicting information on the Neon website!
