What's the maximum lifetime of a colab VM if it is left running with the browser window open (and tensorflow running)?
Also, runtimes are longer in the pro version and instances are connected for up to 24 hours. In the free version, runtimes are limited to 12 hours and RAM is also limited to 16 GB.
How long can you use GPU Colab? The amount of access a compute unit gives you depends on the configuration of your VM and use of specialized accelerators like TPUs or GPUs. Compute units expire 3 months after purchase.
Colab notebooks can run for a maximum of 12 hours.
Google Research's Collaboratory or known as Colab is a free Jupyter environment in the Cloud. In addition to provide a cloud based runtime, it provides mechanism to use your computer or any virtual machine (VM) in the cloud as a runtime to execute your notebooks.
The maximum lifetime of a VM is 12 hours.
Idle VMs time out after 90m. (As you point out, leaving a window open and running a code cell is considered active.)
