Agent Sleep & Wake

2 min readUpdated 2026-02-16

Why Agents Sleep

To save resources when you don't have active campaigns, your agent can be put to sleep. A sleeping agent:

  • Stops all 6 loops (no email monitoring, no lead generation)
  • Preserves all memory and data via a VPS snapshot
  • Costs less — The VPS is deallocated while sleeping

How to Wake Your Agent

When you're ready to run campaigns again:

  1. Visit your Dashboard
  2. Find the Agent ID Card (showing "Sleeping" status with a moon icon)
  3. Click Wake Up

The wake process takes 2-3 minutes:

  1. Your agent's VPS is recreated from the snapshot
  2. All configuration is restored
  3. Loops start up in sequence
  4. Status changes: Sleeping → Waking Up → Starting → Online

Automatic Sleep

Your agent may be put to sleep automatically if:

  • No active campaigns for an extended period
  • Your subscription is paused
  • Manually triggered from Settings

Note: Sleeping preserves all your agent's memory, learned patterns, and campaign data. Nothing is lost.
