@brauni@short_dot Mine's working fine. I created my UptimeKuma instance while writing the post, so I didn't do anything different. I'll ask if anything's changed.

Koyeb has changed some things around, it seems, and has implemented something called scale-to-zero. Link
When your Service remains idle for more than 5 minutes without receiving requests, it will automatically scale down your active Service instances to zero and update your Deployment to the Sleeping status.
As soon as a new request is received, the Service wakes up and scaled up to at least one instance or more depending on your autoscaling criteria.
How scale-to-zero works
Your Service will be scaled down to zero if all of the following criteria are met over the idle period of 5 minutes:
No traffic is received from the Internet.
No held connection (e.g. websocket or HTTP/2 stream) from the Internet to your Service.
No new deployment occured
The scale-to-zero thing seems to have gone into effect on 5th March, and any service created before seems to be working fine. Any service created after that date needs to be accessed within 5 minutes, or it's going to shut itself down.
All free instances automatically have this 'feature' enabled, and can't turn it off.

I use fly.io to host my instance for free
Other places you can find me
You were smart to get an account when you did. According to their docs, they no longer offer a free plan
Sigh another free solution shot down. It's all good though. Thanks for the suggestion @Wolveix
It's a bit of a hassle, but you can use Koyeb's free plan. It's in my signature.

Oh man, that's a shame! Thanks for correcting me

I am trying this out. You wrote a nice post. I appreciate the clear instructions.
I thought about doing a monitoring page for my internal service too, but wasn't sure how or if I want to proxy in.
This is good for now for public facing service. Let's hope they don't boot me off.
Still welcome other ideas
The guide works fine but mine kept getting scaled to 0 / sleeping and afterwards most data was reset
You are right. I confirm that I have the same problem. @nikhm2n Do you have suggestion for us? Are we doing something wrong?
