Suspending an environment manually
I remember having seen it being suggested somewhere else, but can't find it at the moment.
What I would like to see is a way to suspend an environment manually. Quite often, when I'm done with my work, I still have more than 30 minutes (sometimes more than 60 minutes) until my environment auto-suspends. For myself, it doesn't matter whether the environment is running or not at that point of time, as I won't use it anyway for a while. For CloudShare, however, this means that resources are being used while nothing is happening.
So, a "Suspend now" link somewhere (with a "Are you sure?" confirmation in case someone clicks on it accidentally) could possibly help CloudShare to use less resources by giving people the option to suspend their environments themselves.

Rene,
Thank you. Your right this may have not made the transfer to the new support forum, so thank you for re-posting for votes. The concern is that users may decide they really did not want to suspend. Our thought was that now with machine independence users will not see this as a need. We have complex algorithms that determine when an environment actually gets suspended. And because we don't charge by resource hour in Pro we thought the users would not mind. Thank you
Chris
