Scheduled Termination

Overview​

The Scheduled Termination feature in Lium allows you to automatically terminate your running pods at a future date and time. This feature provides a convenient way to manage pod lifecycles without having to manually monitor and stop pods, ensuring you don't incur unnecessary costs after your work is complete.

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.

How to Schedule Pod Termination​

There are two ways to schedule pod termination in Lium:

Method 1: Once Pod is Deployed​

If you already have a running pod and want to schedule its termination:

  1. Navigate to your pod detail page in the Lium dashboard
  2. Click the "DELETE" button in the top right corner
  3. Select "Schedule pod deletion" in the popup menu
  4. Specify the termination time by choosing from:
    • Preset time intervals: 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, or 1 day
    • Custom date and time: Select a specific date and time for termination

Method 2: When Deploying a Pod​

If you want to set auto-termination while creating a new pod:

  1. During the pod deployment process, locate the "Auto-Termination (Optional)" field
  2. Fill in the number of hours after which the pod should automatically terminate
  3. Complete the rest of the deployment configuration
  4. Deploy the pod - it will automatically terminate after the specified duration
