What is the criteria for a sprite being "idle"? Is it no network activity or is it cpu based?

[mrkurt]

It stays awake if you have an open connection (like sprite console) or an exec session if running and producing stdout.

You can specify a max exec time for a process when you launch it via the API.

Is there something we have to do to get a sprite to idle? Because I started one over the weekend that's still running despite no network usage, so that seems to be currently broken.

Looks like it's no network activity for 30 seconds.
