Usage

doctl compute droplet-action power-off <droplet-id> [flags]

Description

Use this command to power off a Droplet.

A power_off event is a hard shutdown and should only be used if the shutdown action is not successful. It is similar to cutting the power on a server and could lead to complications.

Droplets that are powered off are still billable. To stop incurring charges on a Droplet, destroy it.
