The Scheduled Termination feature in VoltageGPU allows you to automatically terminate your running pods at a future date and time. Control costs and manage pod lifecycles without manual monitoring.
When you schedule a termination, the system automatically removes your pod at the specified time, helping you optimize resource usage and control your GPU rental costs more effectively.
Prevent unexpected charges by setting automatic termination times.
No need to manually monitor and stop pods after your work is complete.
Choose preset intervals or set a custom date and time.
Change your mind? Cancel scheduled termination anytime before execution.
If you already have a running pod and want to schedule its termination:
Use preset intervals for quick scheduling, or custom date/time for precise control over when your pod terminates.
If you want to set auto-termination while creating a new pod:
Setting auto-termination during deployment is perfect for time-limited experiments, overnight training runs, or when you know exactly how long you need the GPU.
The scheduled termination time is displayed in the pod detail page. You can see exactly when your pod is set to terminate.
If you change your mind and want to keep your pod running:
You can only cancel a scheduled termination before it executes. Once the termination time is reached, the pod will be deleted and cannot be recovered.
Schedule termination for the morning after starting an overnight training run. Your pod stops automatically when training should be complete.
Set a maximum runtime to ensure you don't exceed your budget. Perfect for experiments with uncertain completion times.
Provide temporary GPU access to team members with automatic cleanup. No need to remember to delete pods later.
Run batch jobs with known durations and automatically free up resources when processing is complete.
Scheduled termination helps prevent "forgotten pods" that continue running and incurring charges after your work is complete.
Yes, you can cancel the scheduled termination before it executes by clicking the "Remove Scheduled Terminate" button in the Pod detail page.
No, billing stops immediately when the pod is terminated at the scheduled time.
Currently, termination must be scheduled individually for each pod through its detail page.
Local storage is deleted with the pod. Make sure to save important data to volumes or configure backups before termination.
Yes, the scheduled termination time is displayed in the pod detail page.
Cancel the scheduled termination before it executes, then optionally schedule a new termination time if needed.
Schedule automatic termination and never pay for idle pods again.
