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.| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Runtime > 0 | Server runs normally |
| Runtime = 0 | Server is suspended — offline and inaccessible |
| 0–2 days after suspension | Grace period — you can still renew by watching ads |
| After 2 days without renewal | Server is permanently deleted |
How to Renew: Watch Ads
Extend your runtime by watching short ads in the Free Tier Dashboard at dash.daki.cc.| Action | Runtime gained |
|---|---|
| Watch 1 ad (~2 minutes) | +3 days |
| Maximum ads per day | 2 |
| Maximum per day | +6 days |
| Maximum total runtime | 30 days |
Steps
- Log in at dash.daki.cc.
- Navigate to your server in the dashboard.
- Use the ad-watching or renewal option to add runtime.
- 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
Can I recover my server after it has been deleted?
Can I recover my server after it has been deleted?
No. Once the 2-day grace period ends and the server is deleted, the data is permanently gone. Daki cannot restore it.
What happens to my files when the server is suspended?
What happens to my files when the server is suspended?
Your files remain on the server during the suspension and the grace period.
Do paid plans expire the same way?
Do paid plans expire the same way?
No. Paid plans renew via credits or a saved payment method — not through ads. See Billing & Payments for details.
