Is it possible to establish concurrent connections to a single sandbox from multiple code instances, such as in a multi-instance deployment environment?

If I have established connections to the sandbox from multiple pods, will pausing one pod's connection impact the other pod's connection?

Here's how I'm currently using the sandbox

# User creates sandbox

# User passes the existing sandbox ID with the request
sbx = await AsyncSandbox.connect(sandbox_id=request.sandbox_id, timeout=600)

# Execute some code such as AI agent ...

await sbx.beta_pause()

sometimes，I connect sandbox successfully, but sandbox.is_running is False。
Connect again after a period of time，sandbox.is_running is True。

Hey @fsqinghuayu you should be able to connect to a sandbox using multiple clients concurrently, but you won't be able to execute code in the same context in parallel. if you want to run a code in the same sandbox in parallel you can create a new context like that:

import asyncio
from e2b_code_interpreter import AsyncSandbox

async def main():
    sandbox = await AsyncSandbox.create()
    context = await sandbox.create_code_context(language="python")
    
    result = await sandbox.run_code("print('Hello from Python!')", context=context)
    print(result)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Let me know if this helps!
