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. +The diagram below illustrates the _Scale to Zero_ behavior alongside Neon's _Autoscaling_ feature.
