A free server sleeps when it is empty. A paid server never does. Here is how both work.
How sleeping works on the free plan
A free server goes to sleep 5 to 10 minutes after the last player leaves. It wakes up when someone picks it in the Kixa lobby at play.kixa.host. Sleeping is how the free plan stays free.
