LOL, such slow time in 2015! very poor Support - by the time they reply ( after many hours) we have wasted our hourly billing for unused droplet run time
Worst thing is even destroy takes me >10 mins to and still waiting LOL
Okay, now I’m know it. it takes 3 hours 34 minutes 17 seconds to restore it.

@dnkalinin If it is taking an hour to create a droplet based on a snapshot, please open a support ticket so the team can take a closer look. It can take some time to convert the image to a larger format, but certainly not that long.
