 When a smart contract runs out of [cycles] on the [Internet Computer](https://internetcomputer.org), it stops functioning, which can disrupt your application or service. Enabling monitoring provides peace of mind by automating the management of cycles, ensuring your modules are always ready to perform. It also saves a little time by eliminating the need for manual top-ups.
 
-It's important to note that if your smart contracts — whether it's your wallet or a module — run out of cycles, they will enter a grace period. During this time, the module stops working but can still be restored. If no action is taken, the module eventually gets deleted, resulting in the permanent loss of its data and functionality.

 This is why snapshots should not be mistaken for backups. Unlike true backups, they do not provide historical retention, off-chain storage, or protection against accidental loss of control. For long-term data protection, external backups — such as secure cold storage for sensitive data — are recommended.

 ## Satellite
 
-A [satellite] can store data using two types of memory: `heap` and `stable`. While both types are forms of random-access memory that only exist as long as the smart contract lives, they can be compared to a familiar analogy. Think of `heap` as similar to the RAM in a computer, and `stable` as more akin to ROM.
+A [satellite] can store data using two types of memory: `heap` and `stable`. Both are forms of random-access memory that exist only while the satellite is active. As an analogy, `heap` is like RAM in a computer, while `stable` is more like ROM.
 
 ### In a nutshell
 
 `Heap` memory offers the best performance for accessing data, both for reading and writing. However, it has a limited capacity in terms of the space it can occupy, with a max of 1 GB.
 
 On the other hand, `stable` memory has a higher memory threshold with a maximum limit of 500 GB minus the heap size, allowing it to store more data in terms of size. However, it is slightly slower.
 
-Additionally, `heap` memory needs to be deserialized and serialized each time you upgrade the smart contract's code. This process becomes heavier as the heap memory size grows.
+Additionally, `heap` memory needs to be deserialized and serialized each time you upgrade the module's code. This process becomes heavier as the heap memory size grows.
 
 On the contrary, `stable` memory doesn't require processing during an upgrade. However, the data it contains needs to be deserialized and serialized each time it is accessed, which can make its usage more costly.
