Free Tier servers have no automatic backups. If your server is deleted after the grace period, Daki cannot recover your files or data. Always keep a copy of your code in an external location such as GitHub.

What you’ll learn

  • How the runtime counter and expiry system work
  • How to extend your runtime by watching ads
  • What happens during suspension and the grace period
  • How to enable renewal reminders

How Runtime Works

Your free server runs on a runtime counter that starts at 3 days when the server is created. Once the counter reaches zero, your server is suspended and eventually deleted unless you top it up.
StageWhat happens
Runtime > 0Server runs normally
Runtime = 0Server is suspended — offline and inaccessible
0–2 days after suspensionGrace period — you can still renew by watching ads
After 2 days without renewalServer is permanently deleted

How to Renew: Watch Ads

Extend your runtime by watching short ads in the Free Tier Dashboard at dash.daki.cc.
ActionRuntime gained
Watch 1 ad (~2 minutes)+3 days
Maximum ads per day2
Maximum per day+6 days
Maximum total runtime30 days

Steps

  1. Log in at dash.daki.cc.
  2. Navigate to your server in the dashboard.
  3. Use the ad-watching or renewal option to add runtime.
  4. Repeat up to twice per day.
Watching ads when you are already at 30 days does not add more time. The counter is capped at 30 days maximum.

Enable the Renewal Reminder

Go to the Credentials tab in the Free Tier Dashboard (dash.daki.cc/credentials) and enable the Server Renewal Reminder. When active, the Daki Discord bot will send you a DM before your runtime is about to expire.

Best Practices

  • Watch ads daily. Two ads per day keeps your runtime near the 30-day maximum with a comfortable buffer.
  • Enable the renewal reminder so you never miss an expiry.
  • Back up your code externally (e.g., on GitHub). Even if your server is deleted, your project is safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Once the 2-day grace period ends and the server is deleted, the data is permanently gone. Daki cannot restore it.
Your files remain on the server during the suspension and the grace period.
No. Paid plans renew via credits or a saved payment method — not through ads. See Billing & Payments for details.
