Whats the min and max idle time for a Cloud Run Function instance?

[samiul-azam]

How long does a Cloud Run function instance stay idle? Is there any minimum and maximum time mentioned in the Cloud Run function doc? I could not find such information in the Doc. Also, is there any way to control this idle time?

Hi @samiul-azam,

Welcome to the Google Cloud community!

The Google Cloud Functions documentation on configuring minimum instances mentions that Cloud Functions can be configured to have a minimum number of instances. These instances are kept warm to handle requests without delay, preventing cold starts.

However, the documentation doesn't specify an exact maximum or minimum idle time for a Cloud Run function instance. In fact, the idleness time has no fixed length and may vary under different conditions.
