Limiting compute hours in Posit Cloud

For the first time, I'm trying to use Posit Cloud to teach a workshop on the tidyverse. I'm affiliated with an university, so I'm considering purchasing the Cloud Instructor plan.

How can we ensure that students are no longer using compute hours in my space after the workshop?

According to this article, It seems like I can set the Background Execution Limit. The dataset I'll be working with is small (1000 rows and 3 columns), so I won't need much memory/CPU. Would I just set the Background Execution Limit to 48 hours? I do see the Cloud Instructor plan offers 300 compute hours, so is there a way to set the limit to 300 hours?

Thank you.

Hi Howard,
Background execution time only controls how long a project may stay open before going to sleep.

The most common way that instructors prevent future compute usage from previous students is to:

  1. Warn students that they space is shutting down and recommend they move their projects to their personal workspace.
  2. Remove students from the workspace and delete the space or archive the space, which automatically removes members.

Hope this helps.

Alex
