7270### Session management and idle state
7371
74- To ensure fair access to cloud resources for all users, Docker Offload
75- implements session management with idle state policies .
72+ Docker Offload implements session management and idle state policies to ensure
73+ fair use across all users .
7674
7775Here's how session management works:
7876
79771 . You start a new Docker Offload session. You can only have one session active
8078 at a time.
81- 2 . You receive periodic prompts (every 3 hours) in the Docker Desktop Dashboard
82- to determine if you are still active. When the prompt appears, your state
83- becomes idle (lasting up to 5 minutes). In the idle state, the remote
84- connection is suspended and containers stop running.
85- 3 . In the idle state, you can choose to:
86- - Do nothing or select ** Cancel** in the prompt. Docker Offload remains in
87- the idle state.
88- - Select ** Resume** in the prompt within 5 minutes. Your session becomes
89- active again with all containers, images, and volumes preserved. Return to
90- step 2.
91- 4 . If the idle period exceeds 5 minutes, the session ends and any containers,
92- images, or volumes are deleted. Return to step 1 for a new clean session.
93- 5 . After 8 hours from the start of your session, you will receive a prompt in
94- the Docker Desktop Dashboard to extend your session. At this time, you can
95- extend your session. If you do not extend your session, it ends and any
96- containers, images, or volumes are deleted.
79+ 2 . You receive periodic prompts (every 1 to 3 hours) in the Docker Desktop Dashboard
80+ to determine if you are still active. When the prompt appears, you can choose to:
81+ - Select ** Resume** in the prompt to confirm you're still active and
82+ continue your session.
83+ - Do nothing, select ** Cancel** , or dismiss the prompt. You have a
84+ 5-minute grace period. After the grace period, if you still haven't
85+ responded, your session enters a 5-minute idle timeout period. During
86+ either period, you can select ** Resume** to continue your session and
87+ preserve all containers, images, and volumes.
88+ 3 . If the idle timeout period exceeds 5 minutes without resuming, the session
89+ is suspended (the remote connection is suspended and containers stop
90+ running).
91+ 4 . After 8 hours of cumulative usage, the periodic prompts become more frequent.
92+ If you do not respond to a prompt and the idle timeout expires, your session
93+ ends and any containers, images, or volumes are deleted.
