hi,I’m running an image generation deployment on verda serverless containers and would like to increase the scale-down delay from the default 300s to 1800s.

My cold start time is around 80-90s, which significantly impacts user experience with the current setting.If possible, I’d prefer to have this option unlocked on my account so I can adjust the value myself as needed in the future.

Hi,

We already have this feature in our UI and you can adjust it yourself.

If you change the values from 300 → 1800 in downscale that would be reflected in your configuration.
