Droplet showing as down even though it is active

Posted on June 24, 2016

I went to check my droplet stats today, and couldn’t as it said the droplet was powered down. It is definitely powered, as I am currently viewing the webpage it is hosting, and ssh’ed into it.

I have since hit the “power on” button. I just want to make sure there aren’t any possible negative side effects from having done this. Any thoughts?
