Hey,

I want to have a droplet ready to use with a custom setup but only use it X hours a month. Is it possible to keep it saved and only pay when in use?

Thank you

You could take a snapshot and deploy it when needed.

I tried this:

Create a droplet, configure it, then save a snapshot
Then, i deleted the droplet
I have now created a new droplet, same config but i can't restore it from the snapshot.

Any suggestions?

I have paid for create a basic droplet.
It was active for some days... if I delete my droplet, can I save the credits that were not used?
