# Pausing a space

Every Space on Neverinstall operates for a fixed session duration, depending on the user's subscription plan. After the session duration has elapsed, the Space will automatically pause. This mechanism helps maintain optimal server performance, ensuring a consistent and smooth user experience for all customers.

Users also have the option to manually pause their Space. To do this, simply click on the "Pause" button available on the dock.

Keep in mind that a Space will automatically pause if there is inactivity for a certain period - 7, 15, or 30 minutes - based on the specific subscription plan.
