Cloud9's EC2 regularly shutting down while typing in the IDE!

Question

Hi   
Recently my instance of cloud9 will shut down while I am using the IDE or even just in a different tab in a browser.   
It also often shuts down within a few minutes of being started up for the first time in a day - after I've got my npm server running, and various things.  
  
Maybe related but this thing about it shutting down after 30 mins of use seems to be ignored anyway. Sometimes I can be doing other things for hours and its still running.  
  
It has to be a fault of some sort but impractical to use.  
  
Thoughts appreciated. Thanks   
  
Kevin

Accepted Answer

Hi,  
  
Sorry for the problems. We've recently had issues related to automatic shutdowns, and deployed a fix for it yesterday.  
Have you still encountered such issues since then (e.g. today)? In this case, please let us know your region.

Answer

Spoke too soon. Just shut down on me mid-edit.  
I think anyone developing or using Cloud9 are getting pretty sick of this series of problems. This needs to get fixed or its back to vscode - which does work!
