# Create an AutoStopping Rule

Creates a new AutoStopping Rule to automatically manage cloud resources and reduce costs. The rule monitors resource activity and automatically stops resources during idle periods, then restarts them when traffic is detected. You can configure idle time thresholds, access methods (HTTP/HTTPS, SSH, RDP), custom domains, and schedules.
