# Sleep for idle VM services, org-aware alerts, and clearer schedule reviews

> Services on a VM no longer have to run around the clock. With sleep enabled for a space, an idle service stops on its own, frees its memory, and restarts the moment someone visits. Alerts now name the organisation they concern and open it directly, and schedule recommendations show exactly what applying them will do.

Idle services stop; the next visit wakes them.

## New

- ZopDay: sleep for idle VM services. A service on a VM can stop when nobody uses it, free its memory, and restart on the next request, with an idle window of 1 minute to 24 hours set per space in Infrastructure settings. Rolling out per VM pool; existing services keep running until it is enabled
- ZopDay: shareable app install links. Send a link that opens ZopDay in Starter Templates with an app already selected, so a WordPress install skips the manual search. New users land back on the same app after signing in

## Improved

- ZopNight: a cloud account with invalid or expired credentials now says so plainly instead of a stale mix of permission states. If the check cannot complete, you see 'Couldn't check permissions' rather than a false pass or fail
- ZopNight: alert emails and chat notifications now name the organisation they concern, and clicking through opens that organisation directly instead of the one you last had open
- ZopNight: schedule recommendations now show what will actually happen. The editor prefills from the grid you just reviewed, the review step names the resource the schedule attaches to, and resources with stale metrics still show their history, labeled with the last data received
