Neon's *Scale to Zero* feature suspends the Neon compute that runs your Postgres database after a period of inactivity, which minimizes costs for databases that aren’t always active, such as development or test environment databases — and even production databases that aren't used 24/7.
Neon's _Scale to Zero_ feature suspends the Neon compute that runs your Postgres database after a period of inactivity, which minimizes costs for databases that aren’t always active, such as development or test environment databases — and even production databases that aren't used 24/7.

- When your database is inactive, it automatically scales to zero after 5 minutes. This means you pay only for active time instead of 24/7 compute usage. No manual intervention is required.
- Once you query the database again, it reactivates automatically within a few hundred milliseconds.

The diagram below illustrates the *Scale to Zero* behavior alongside Neon's *Autoscaling* feature. The compute usage line highlights an _inactive_ period, followed by a period where the compute is automatically suspended until it's accessed again.
