Fwd: Your Heroku app rippleapi on free dynos needs to recharge

[Dan Silivestru <da...@gmail.com>]

Good Friday team,

I've been away from this mailing list for a very long time :(

I've been getting these emails for the past week or so and I have to
apologize for not forwarding them earlier, kept slipping my mind.

Looks like Ripple is still taking advantage of this service and Heroku's
new billing policy might impact service for people that are actively using
it.

All the best,

Dan.

Hi,

Your app rippleapi is running on free dynos and has been active for more
than 18 of the last 24 hours. Normally, your app would recharge
<https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/dyno-sleeping> for the next 6 hours.
Don't worry, your app is still running. Right now we're simply sending
notifications. Beginning August 15th, your application will receive up to
three warnings per month after which it will need to recharge.

Why are you receiving this and what can you do?

   -

   Your app is becoming more popular. Upgrade your app
   <https://dashboard.heroku.com/apps/rippleapi/resources> to Hobby dynos
   for $7 per dyno per month so it never sleeps and users can access it 24×7.
   -

   A monitoring service could unintentionally be keeping your app awake for
   more than 18 hours a day. Run heroku logs -t to view your app's logs to
   see if this is the case and remove Pingdom, New Relic or other availability
   monitoring services that are not required for a free development app.
   -

   Your application may be receiving traffic from some other automated
   source. In order to sync up your app's sleep cycle with your own, scale it
   down before going to bed. In the morning, turn your app back on.
   -

   Your application may not have a web process at all. Once worker-only
   apps are started, they run for 18 hours and then recharge for 6 hours.
   After this your dynos will be started again. You can avoid this by
   upgrading to a hobby dyno, or by manually scaling down your application for
   six hours at a time that is convenient for you.

Dyno sleeping lets us provide you and millions of other users with a free
tier for experimenting, hacking on personal projects and even low traffic
apps that don't require 24×7 access.

We're here to help and would love hear from you or answer any questions at
help.heroku.com <https://help.heroku.com/search?q=dyno+types> or
pricing-feedback@heroku.com!

Happy coding, Heroku
