Question
How can I schedule droplet on/off?

Asked by Squigly
I need to power on my droplets at a certain point in time (e.g everyday 07:00) to perform some tasks. And then I’d like the opposite: power off a droplet regardless of what it’s doing at a certain point in time (everyday 23:00).
Any way to achieve this?

You are absolutely right, I apologize, I miss-understood the FAQ, I thought powered off droplet are charged 20%. In that case, no point in power off, either scale down or cheap out.
Thank you for clarifying this.
Why do you want to shut it down?
