cloudshell persistence expiring warning

Question

Under the health dashboard, I am getting a warning that cloudshell persistence is expiring in a particular region.  The affected user is my root account.  I have opened cloudshell recently in the specified region, but the warning and affected user have not updated.  I'm not sure if there is more I need to do.  Do I need to run an EC2 instance or perform some other activity within the shell to reset the timer?

Answer

Simply start CloudShell with the appropriate IAM user, etc. and you should be good to go.  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloudshell/latest/userguide/limits.html#persistent-storage-limitations  
> With AWS CloudShell, you have persistent storage of 1 GB for each AWS Region at no cost. Persistent storage is located in your home directory ($HOME) and is private to you. Unlike ephemeral environment resources that are recycled after each shell session ends, data in your home directory persists between sessions.
> 
> If you stop using AWS CloudShell in an AWS Region, data is retained in the persistent storage of that Region for 120 days after the end of your last session. After 120 days, unless you take action, your data is automatically deleted from the persistent storage of that Region. You can prevent removal by launching AWS CloudShell again in that AWS Region. For more information, see Step 2: Select a Region, launch AWS CloudShell, and choose a shell.
