Enabling Deferred Shutdown
To enable the Deferred Shutdown option:

for the On Demand server – this will take you to the Identity tab of the Edit Server screen. -
Navigate to the On Demand tab on the Edit Server screen.
-
Enable the Allow deferred server shutdown option.

After that, you can configure the delay between the notification emails being sent and the server turning off as well as the maximum amount of time that a user can defer the server being turned off.
To configure these:
(Note – this is only accessible to users with the Account Administrator role)
-
Go to the ADMIN menu and select MANAGE ACCOUNT – this will take you to the Basic Details tab of the Manage Account screen.
-
Navigate to the Settings tab.
-
Use the drop down menus to set the Initial Period (how long the server waits to turn off after notification emails are sent) and the Maximum Period (the maximum length of time that a user can defer shutdown for).
Note – By default, both of these will be set to 1 hr.

Click Save.
