WorkSpaces Applications - Users cannot connect quickly even though Fleet Usage is zero and diconnect timeout is 1 minute

0

I have a Fleet with maximum and minimum users set to 3 and a disconnect timeout set to 1 minute. I have no scaling in or out policies. This should allow 3 simultaneous users with new users being able to use our application 1 minute after another user has disconnected. The time delay seems to be much longer than that. Looking at the graphs in Fleet Usage, the fleet usage can drop to zero and still no one can connect. The delay seems to be about 20 minutes. How do I set up the fleet to allow other users to connect in about 1 minute.

Thanks in advance DavidL

The delay you are experiencing is expected behavior. Although the disconnect timeout is configured for one minute, Amazon WorkSpaces Application fleets do not immediately recycle capacity upon user disconnection. When a session ends, the associated resources are released; however, the fleet requires additional time to provision and initialize a new session for the next user. This provisioning cycle typically takes 15–20 minutes, rather than the one minute specified in the timeout setting, as a fresh application instance must be created. At present, there is no mechanism to guarantee the reuse of capacity within a one‑minute window.
