The price jump from the free tier to the pro tier is a big jump for people who just want a small hosted API. I suggest creating a paid tier with the same or similar service levels as free that doesn't pause after inactivity.

Thanks for your feedback.  I've sent your comments to our team.

Projects should only time out after 7 days of no API calls, though, so that generally shouldn't be a problem unless your project is almost completely dead.

That is true. I was actually confused what was meant by "inactivity." I didn't know whether that meant API inactivity, or inactivity in the control panel.

Yeah, if you have a small project running and it gets some sort of activity at least once a week you should be fine.
