The auto-suspend feature saves compute costs byautomatically suspending a warehouse when it becomes idlefor a configured period. Since Snowflake charges for compute time while a warehouse is running, auto-suspend prevents unnecessary credit consumption by stopping the warehouse when no queries are executing. The warehouse can resume automatically when a new query is submitted, provided auto-resume is enabled. Auto-suspend does not change warehouse size (scaling up/down) nor adjust clusters in a multi-cluster warehouse (scaling in/out). It strictly controls when compute resources turn off due to inactivity, making it an essential cost-optimization feature.
