Worker in Idle despite configuration
Hey! I'm new here. What does it mean when a worker is “Idle,” even though I have configured everything so that it is idle as little as possible? Do I pay all the time or only when it is idle?
Solution
hey hey!Someone else might be able to add here but I can add a few things
Yeah the idle workers thing might be a little confusing
In that UI you should see a couple of different states, if workers are listed as idle then you are not being billed. Idle in this context just means they are initialized with your image and ready to serve requests. A "running" state is what you are billed for.
Some of the confusion there might be from the fact that we also have "idle timeout" nomenclature when configuring an endpoint, which refers to the time after finishing a request that a worker will stay running
