Container keeps hibernating even with clients connected

[haha0201]

I'm coding a multiplayer game, but my codesandbox container keeps hibernating, even when clients are connected to the server.
Basically, my game is unplayable since it resets every 15 minutes.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
thanks

Hey!

This was an issue with had where we weren't waking up containers. I think this was fixed yesterday

Is it still happening?

Hey @haha0201 ,

We only detect sandbox / container activity when loading a html page. Please note that CodeSandbox is primarily (at least for now) a development platform; if you want to deploy your project you can use a hosting platform such as Vercel or Netlify. That being said, we're currently evaluating the option of providing always-on container sandboxes.

[haha0201]

So basically, you only detect if a person goes ahead and opens a new tab, not if a person is already on the page?

[lbogdan]

Yes, that's correct.

[haha0201]

Alright, when will this be fixed?

As I said above, this is expected behavior, so there's nothing to fix.

If you're asking about the always-on containers feature, we'll most probably release it until the end of this month.
