I want stop my current IDX workspace when I am done working with it . I saw similar feature in GitHub codespace. This will also help IDX team save resources by removing unwanted usage.
I believe it automatically stops after an hr or so

thats what I am saying, we should have an option to request terminate the VM, so that the resources can be saved. Github codespace has this option. I think this feature is necessary and make more sense.
The reason I am bringing this issue is that most of the time VMs are busy and take a lot of time to spin up
@kirupa are we have any options like this?
+1 to what @Srivats_Venkataraman mentions.
Your workspace will automatically stop in an hour or so after you are done using it. We’ve never thought about giving an explicit “Turn Off” option for the purposes of saving resources. A part of the reason is that we abstract away the concept of a dedicated VM running behind the scenes. We never say “Turn Off” to your favorite web site, for example.
Now, if your workspace is stuck on a long running operation, one option you have is to Reset the workspace by going to the project list (idx.google.com home page) and clicking the three dots next to it. That will allow you to reset the workspace back to a normal state.
