What it finds

WorkSpaces Autostop Opportunity: one of the WorkSpaces checks in the compute optimization group. Checks in this group look for: compute capacity that is idle, stopped but still holding paid attachments, oversized for its load, or on an older generation.

Why it costs money

Compute is billed for the time it is provisioned, not for the work it does, so capacity nobody uses keeps billing.

How it is detected

AlwaysOn WorkSpace with low usage, switch to AutoStop billing

Detection confidence: HIGH. This is the criterion from our public docs. It runs in a local scan with your own read-only credentials.

Run it yourself

Nothing leaves your machine. The local scan has no telemetry.
